Lac du Lucane Fishing Guide, Quebec, Quebec

• Overview

  Quebec, is where Lac du Lucane sits. This is pine and birch country. It runs to roughly 26 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The full circuit measures close to 2.3 km on foot. 49 km away sits Mattawa, the nearest town. Then Deep River, 51 km, and Chalk River, 59 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Lucane

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Lac du Lucane gives up its fish to patience rather than distance. Snags are worth the risk if you fish them carefully.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -14°C to 18°C. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Lac du Lucane runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits
