Lac des Termites Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Set in Mauricie, Quebec, this is Lac des Termites. It stands 347 metres above sea level. Roughly 34 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Roughly 4.6 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. Start from La Tuque, 33 km down the road. Then Laurentides, 71 km, and Weymontachie, 85 km. Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Lac des Termites

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records held for Mauricie cover northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. The county list is broader than any single water. Fish Lac des Termites where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 17°C for July and -16°C for January. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly mid November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. That shapes the year on Lac des Termites.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. The nearest alternative is Lac Perdrix, 1.1 km out. Check the position at Lac des Termites before loading the car.
