Fishing at Lac des Liserons, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Mauricie, Quebec, is where Lac des Liserons sits. The country round it is lake country bush from end to end. About 7 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Supplies mean a trip to Laurentides, 19 km off. The nearest city of size is Trois-Rivières, 100 km away. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac des Liserons

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Reported across Mauricie: northern pike, brook trout and walleye. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Lac des Liserons gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 17°C, while January sits near -15°C. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Ice-out usually falls in late April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Ice clears near late April and comes back about late November in a typical year. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Lac des Liserons runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Anglers are recorded at Maskinongé, roughly 1.1 km off. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. For a change of water, Lac Aumond is 0.8 km distant. Nothing here settles the position at Lac des Liserons for certain.
