Lac de l'Alouette, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac de l'Alouette is listed under Mauricie, Quebec. It stands 468 metres above sea level. Surface area is around 17 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. The full circuit measures close to 2.4 km on foot. Weymontachie at 7.1 km is the nearest place to stop. Trois-Rivières sits 189 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac de l'Alouette

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. County-wide records name northern pike, brook trout and walleye. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Lac de l'Alouette repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -16°C to 17°C. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. Ice-out usually falls in early May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Plan around that when you fish Lac de l'Alouette.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lac Thibault at 1.2 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to Lac de l'Alouette locally before you travel.
