Lac Hees Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Look for Lac Hees in the Mauricie part of Quebec. The surface lies 337 metres up. About 7 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. La Tuque sits 32 km from here and is the nearest stop. For a city, Sainte-Foy is 109 km off. Neighbouring water: Lac de la Battue lies 1.5 km on, Lac Orleans 1.9 km, Lac de la Paix lies 2.3 km on, Lac Andre 2.4 km and Lac du Castor lies 2.9 km on. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Hees

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Mauricie records list northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker among the fish reported. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. The shape of Lac Hees rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 17°C and January near -16°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at mid November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. On Lac Hees that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. If the gate is shut, Lac de la Battue at 1.5 km is the nearest alternative. Treat access at Lac Hees as something to verify.
