Lac Gina Fishing Guide, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  The Mauricie end of Quebec holds Lac Gina. The surroundings are northern bush. The water measures roughly 7 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. 47 km away sits Weymontachie, the nearest town. After that come Saint-Félicien at 83 km and Leblanc at 84 km. Close neighbours run: Lac Dany near enough 0.8 km, Petit lac des Mechins 1.7 km, Lac Bleu near enough 3 km, Lac Carmen 3.1 km and Lac Roger near enough 3.2 km. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Gina

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Survey and observation records for Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout and walleye. The county list is broader than any single water. The near bank of Lac Gina is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -17°C in January up to 16°C in July. The season is measured in weeks rather than months. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around early May. The lid tends to go about early May and return around mid November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. At Lac Gina the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Lac Dany is 0.8 km distant. What applies at Lac Gina may have changed since it was mapped.
