Lac Jumeau Fishing near Weymontachie, Quebec

• Overview

  Mauricie, Quebec, is where Lac Jumeau sits. Around the bank it is boreal forest. This is a pocket water of some 4 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Mauricie. Nearest town is Weymontachie, 14 km off. Leblanc is 72 km away, with La Tuque at 77 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Jumeau

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. County-wide records name northern pike, brook trout and walleye. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Work Lac Jumeau in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 17°C and January at -16°C. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Lac Jumeau runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Should this one be busy, Grand lac la Vache is 0.5 km off. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Jumeau for certain.
