Lac Blor, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Blor is one of the Mauricie waters in Quebec. Country round the bank runs to boreal forest. About 7 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Supplies mean a trip to Manawan, 104 km off. Ferme-Neuve is 108 km away, with Leblanc at 114 km. Others close at hand: Lac Brom within 0.6 km, Lac Codaire at about 1.7 km, Lac Dods within 1.8 km, Lac Gyges at about 2 km and Lac Titi within 2 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Blor

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Fish documented in Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Work Lac Blor in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 16°C and January near -17°C on the long-run figures. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. Break-up sits around early May on average, with the water closing again about mid November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lac Blor.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Lac Brom, 0.6 km out. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Blor for certain.
