Lac Emery Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Mauricie, Quebec, is where Lac Emery sits. Height above sea level is 453 metres. Small at around 4 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. On size it sits at the modest end of our Mauricie list. Saint-Michel-des-Saints is the closest place, 55 km off. Further out sit Saint-Élie-de-Caxton (60 km) and Shawinigan (63 km). No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Emery

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. The shape of Lac Emery rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 17°C; by January the average is down near -15°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Lac Emery runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lac du Butor sits 0.9 km off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Lac Emery in what we hold.
