Lac Bryas Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Bryas is a Mauricie water, Quebec side. Land around it is pine and birch. It covers about 3 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Mauricie. Some 25 km away sits Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, the nearest settlement. Trois-Rivières sits 54 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Bryas

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Fish documented in Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Take Lac Bryas a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 18°C and January about -14°C. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about late November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Time your trip to Lac Bryas by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. You can camp about 900 m away, going by the mapping. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. If the gate is shut, Lac Wapizagonke at 1.2 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Lac Bryas should be assumed from this page alone.
