Fishing at Lac Lamontagne, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  The Mauricie entry here is Lac Lamontagne, in Quebec. The surface lies 493 metres up. Surface area runs to about 10 hectares — small enough to read in one session. The bank runs about 2.1 km all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. Start from Weymontachie, 37 km down the road. Leblanc lies 71 km off, La Tuque another 91 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lamontagne

  Depth figures are not published for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. On Lac Lamontagne that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 16°C, while January sits near -17°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Ice is part of the season here, ending near 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 Lamontagne that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Deuxieme lac Jumeau is 1.1 km off. The position on Lac Lamontagne is worth confirming on the day.
