Lac Endormi in Mauricie: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Lac Endormi sits in Mauricie, out in Quebec. The ground round it is boreal forest. With some 14 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. Shoreline comes to about 2.1 km, small enough to learn in a day. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Quebec listings. Weymontachie lies 38 km from the water. Further out sit Leblanc (53 km) and Saint-Félicien (99 km). It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Endormi

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Across Mauricie, recorded fish include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. On Lac Endormi a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 16°C in July and bottoms out near -18°C in January. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. Open water usually runs from early May until about mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. On Lac Endormi that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lac Pourri at 0.6 km is the sensible second choice. What applies at Lac Endormi may have changed since it was mapped.
