Lac Boivin Fishing Guide, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Boivin is listed under Mauricie, Quebec. The setting is northern bush on every side. It measures about 19 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. Bank access stretches around 2.6 km in total. The town to know is La Tuque, 37 km out. For a city, La Cité-Limoilou is 128 km off. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Boivin

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. 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 Boivin the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -16°C to 17°C. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Plan around that when you fish Lac Boivin.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Troisieme lac Cochon sits 2.9 km off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Lac Boivin in what we hold.
