Lac Cache Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Set in Mauricie, Lac Cache is a Quebec water. Around the bank it is mixed forest. La Tuque is the closest town at 32 km. Trois-Rivières is the closest city, 153 km away.

The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Cache

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Across Mauricie, recorded fish include northern pike, brook trout and walleye. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. On Lac Cache a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -16°C in January to roughly 17°C in July. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near mid November: that is the shape of an average year. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Plan around that when you fish Lac Cache.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. For a change of water, Lac la Vase is 0.9 km distant. The position on Lac Cache is worth confirming on the day.
