Lac Duck Fishing near Weymontachie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Duck falls in Mauricie, part of Quebec. This is northern bush country. With some 23 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. The full circuit measures close to 4.0 km on foot. Weymontachie sits 32 km from here and is the nearest stop. It is 201 km to Trois-Rivières, the nearest city. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Lac Duck

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Mauricie, recorded fish include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Lac Duck a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 16°C; by January the average is down near -16°C. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Plan around that when you fish Lac Duck.

• 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. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lac de la Boussole sits 1.6 km off and takes the overflow. Confirm access to Lac Duck locally before you travel.
