Lac Banane Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Banane is a Mauricie water, Quebec side. This is northern bush country. With some 19 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. The edge runs 2.7 km or so, easy to work in an afternoon. Nearest town is Leblanc, 105 km off. Saguenay is the closest city, 333 km away. Water in the same corner: Lac Alphonse (4.8 km), Lac Kice Amikotcitc just 5.2 km, Lac a l'Ours (6.9 km), Lac aux Huards just 9 km and Lac Saint-Cyr (11 km). It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Banane

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Lac Banane the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -19°C to 16°C. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. The lid tends to go about early May and return around mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. On Lac Banane that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Lac Alphonse is 4.8 km off. Where Lac Banane is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
