Lac Dimere in Mauricie: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  The Mauricie end of Quebec holds Lac Dimere. The water sits 438 metres up. For supplies, Manawan is 61 km out. La Tuque is 64 km away, with Saint-Michel-des-Saints at 65 km. Also within reach: 0.2 km away is Lac du Soja, Lac de l'Oseille within 0.4 km, 0.6 km away is Lac du Bulbe, Lac de l'Anhinga within 1 km and 1.4 km away is Lac en Croix. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Dimere

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Survey and observation records for Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Read Lac Dimere before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 17°C and January near -16°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around early May. The water is typically free of ice between early May and mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Lac Dimere runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Lac du Soja is 0.2 km distant. Where Lac Dimere is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
