Lac du Lievre Fishing near Weymontachie, Quebec

• Overview

  Look for Lac du Lievre in the Mauricie part of Quebec. Land around it is northern bush. Start from Weymontachie, 19 km down the road. For a city, Trois-Rivières is 207 km off. If this one is busy: Lac Wet sits 4.5 km out, Lac Dear within 6.5 km, Lac Musqua sits 6.7 km out, Lac Clair within 7.3 km and Lac Tendu sits 8 km out. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Lievre

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Records held for Mauricie cover northern pike, brook trout and walleye. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Lac du Lievre repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -17°C to 16°C. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Lac du Lievre runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lac Wet at 4.5 km is the sensible second choice. Ask locally about Lac du Lievre if anything is unclear.
