Lac Brodie Fishing near Manawan, Quebec

• Overview

  Set in Mauricie, Quebec, this is Lac Brodie. This is boreal forest ground. At 2 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. On size it sits at the modest end of our Mauricie list. You are 53 km from Manawan. Weymontachie lies 69 km off, Leblanc another 70 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Lac Brodie

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Records held for Mauricie cover northern pike, brook trout and walleye. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Read Lac Brodie before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 16°C at the top of summer and -17°C at the bottom of winter. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. Climate figures give an open season running early May to mid November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. On Lac Brodie the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. 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. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lac Peggy sits 0.7 km off and takes the overflow. The position on Lac Brodie is worth confirming on the day.
