Fishing at Lac du Nordet, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac du Nordet is a Mauricie water, in Quebec. Height above sea level is 332 metres. The far bank is a conversation away, so keep low and quiet. On size it sits at the modest end of our Mauricie list. Nearest place of any size is La Tuque, 47 km away. The big place round here is Trois-Rivières, 103 km distant. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Nordet

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Species logged across Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Work Lac du Nordet in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -15°C to 18°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near late November: that is the shape of an average year. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. That is the shape of the year on Lac du Nordet.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. For a change of water, Lac du Cypres is 0.8 km distant. Ask locally about Lac du Nordet if anything is unclear.
