Lac Dag, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  The Mauricie entry here is Lac Dag, in Quebec. The water sits 350 metres up. At roughly 5 hectares, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. La Tuque lies 27 km from the water. Laurentides is 33 km and Sainte-Thècle 67 km. Other water nearby: Lac a la Loutre (0.8 km), Lac Girard near enough 0.9 km, Lac Kate (1.1 km), Lac de la Source near enough 1.4 km and Lac POW (1.7 km). The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Dag

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Species logged across Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. On Lac Dag a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 17°C in July and bottoms out near -16°C in January. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. The season between ice runs from about late April to mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Time your trip to Lac Dag by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Failing this one, try Lac a la Loutre, 0.8 km away. None of that is settled for Lac Dag in what we hold.
