Lac de la Hauteur Fishing Guide, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac de la Hauteur is a Mauricie water, Quebec side. The country round it is spruce and muskeg from end to end. Roughly 10 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. About 1.2 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Start from Leblanc, 31 km down the road. The big place round here is Saguenay, 213 km distant. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac de la Hauteur

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Species logged across Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. On Lac de la Hauteur the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -17°C in January to roughly 16°C in July. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May. Climate figures give an open season running early May to mid November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. At Lac de la Hauteur the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. 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. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lac Mystere at 2.1 km is the sensible second choice. Ask locally about Lac de la Hauteur if anything is unclear.
