Lac Guenette in Mauricie: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  You will find Lac Guenette in Mauricie, Quebec. The surface lies 486 metres up. At 1.46 sq km this is proper open water rather than a pond. The margin runs to about 11 km in total. It is among the larger waters listed here for Mauricie. You are 40 km from Leblanc. Weymontachie is 42 km and Manawan 76 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Guenette

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Open biodiversity records for Mauricie list northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Read Lac Guenette for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -17°C in January up to 16°C in July. Cold dominates the calendar on water this far north. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. The season on Lac Guenette rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. 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. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lac Ayer, 4 km away, makes the obvious fallback. What applies at Lac Guenette may have changed since it was mapped.
