Lac du Quinzieme Mille Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Mauricie in Quebec is where Lac du Quinzieme Mille sits. Pine and birch runs right down to the water. At about 19 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. A shoreline of some 2.7 km keeps the choices simple. Some 36 km away sits La Tuque, the nearest settlement. The nearest city of size is Trois-Rivières, 109 km away. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Quinzieme Mille

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Open biodiversity records for Mauricie list northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Lac du Quinzieme Mille a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 17°C, the coldest about -16°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. On average, late April opens the water and late November closes it again. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. That is the shape of the year on Lac du Quinzieme Mille.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Lac Ellen sits 1.2 km off and takes the overflow.
