Lac Bob-Grant Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Look for Lac Bob-Grant in the Mauricie part of Quebec. Country round the bank runs to boreal forest. At 2.56 sq km this is proper open water rather than a pond. Size puts it in the front rank of our Mauricie list. Supplies mean a trip to Weymontachie, 26 km off. The nearest city of size is Trois-Rivières, 172 km away. Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Lac Bob-Grant

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Open biodiversity records for Mauricie list northern pike, brook trout and walleye. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. On Lac Bob-Grant that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 17°C and January near -16°C. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at mid November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Lac Bob-Grant runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Should this one be busy, Lac Bruxelles is 2 km off. None of that is settled for Lac Bob-Grant in what we hold.
