Lac Furet Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Set in Mauricie, Quebec, this is Lac Furet. It sits at 517 metres above sea level. Roughly 42 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. You are looking at roughly 6.0 km of shoreline, with plenty of water between access points. It ranks high for size among our Mauricie listings. Weymontachie lies 60 km from the water. Saint-Félicien follows at 70 km, then Saint-Prime at 74 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Furet

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish documented in Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Take Lac Furet a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 16°C at the top of summer and -18°C at the bottom of winter. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early May. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Lac Furet runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Lac de l'Arbuste, 1 km away. Check the current arrangement for Lac Furet.
