Fishing Lac Edmond in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Look for Lac Edmond in the Mauricie part of Quebec. Height above sea level is 523 metres. The far bank is a conversation away, so keep low and quiet. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Mauricie. The closest town, Weymontachie, is 34 km away. Leblanc lies 59 km off, Manawan another 61 km. Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Lac Edmond

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Records held for Mauricie cover northern pike, brook trout and walleye. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Anyone new to Lac Edmond should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 16°C in July and bottom out at -16°C in January. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. On average, early May opens the water and mid November closes it again. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Plan around that when you fish Lac Edmond.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Lac Georgette, 0.6 km away. Treat access at Lac Edmond as something to verify.
