Lac Chausson Fishing Guide, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Chausson lies within the bounds of Mauricie, Quebec. The setting is rolling bush on every side. It covers about 10 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. The edge runs 2.1 km or so, easy to work in an afternoon. 43 km away sits La Tuque, the nearest town. It is 129 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Chausson

  Our records hold no depth for this water. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Species logged across Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout and walleye. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. The shape of Lac Chausson rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -16°C in January up to 17°C in July. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. The lid tends to go about late April and return around mid November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. The season on Lac Chausson follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Lac Rejeanne, 1.4 km away. Treat Lac Chausson as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
