Lac Femelle Fishing Guide, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Femelle stands in Mauricie, Quebec. It lies 263 metres above sea level. The far bank is a conversation away, so keep low and quiet. Our Mauricie list holds plenty of bigger water. Start from La Tuque, 34 km down the road. Trois-Rivières sits 155 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Femelle

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. 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. Work Lac Femelle in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 17°C, with January the cold end at about -16°C. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. The lid tends to go about late April and return around mid November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Expect Lac Femelle to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Gros lac a l'Ours at 1.1 km is the nearest alternative. Check the current arrangement for Lac Femelle.
