Lac Hebert Fishing near Manawan, Quebec

Nearest place of any size is Manawan, 74 km away. Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne is the closest city, 238 km away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Hebert

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Survey and observation records for Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Lac Hebert a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 17°C in July and bottom out at -17°C in January. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. The lid tends to go about early May and return around mid November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. At Lac Hebert the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Lac du Canot is 0.6 km distant. Check the current arrangement for Lac Hebert.
