Lac du Lynx Fishing near La Tuque, Quebec

• Overview

  Look for Lac du Lynx in the Mauricie part of Quebec. The setting is mixed forest. The water covers some 12 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. A shoreline of some 1.9 km keeps the choices simple. La Tuque is the closest place, 55 km off. The big place round here is Trois-Rivières, 111 km distant. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Lynx

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Records held for Mauricie cover northern pike, brook trout and walleye. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Read Lac du Lynx before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 17°C and January reads -16°C. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. The water is typically free of ice between early May and mid November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Lac du Lynx fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac Sauvage sits 0.5 km off and takes the overflow. Confirm access to Lac du Lynx locally before you travel.
