Lac Dubois Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  This water sits in Mauricie, Quebec. It lies 429 metres above sea level. Roughly 6.83 sq km of surface: treat each bay as a water in its own right.

After that come Chapais at 103 km and Chibougamau at 112 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Dubois

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Read Lac Dubois for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 16°C; the cold one sits at -18°C. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near mid November in autumn. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Plan any trip to Lac Dubois around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lac Bristol at 1.4 km is the sensible second choice. Where Lac Dubois is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
