• Where to Fish on Lac Jaseur

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Survey and observation records for Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. The shape of Lac Jaseur decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 17°C, with January the cold end at about -16°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Jaseur.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac du Moucherolle sits 0.9 km off and takes the overflow. For Lac Jaseur, the notice at the access point is the final word.
