Lac Bangor Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Out in Mauricie, Quebec, sits Lac Bangor. Beyond the shoreline you have pine and birch. Surface area runs to about 3 hectares — small enough to read in one session. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Mauricie. Start from Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, 46 km down the road. The nearest city of size is Trois-Rivières, 75 km away. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Bangor

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Open biodiversity records for Mauricie list northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Lac Bangor the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 18°C, the coldest about -15°C. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. The season on Lac Bangor follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. For a change of water, Lac Banane is 0.8 km distant. The position on Lac Bangor is worth confirming on the day.
