Lac Langevin Fishing near Weymontachie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Langevin sits in Mauricie, out in Quebec. The surroundings are spruce and muskeg. The water covers some 11 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. A shoreline of some 1.5 km keeps the choices simple. The closest town, Weymontachie, is 24 km distant. Beyond it, La Tuque at 68 km and Leblanc at 81 km. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac Langevin

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. County-wide records name northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Lac Langevin a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 17°C on average, January about -16°C. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early May. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Langevin.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lac de la Baie, 2.2 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on Lac Langevin should be assumed from this page alone.
