Lac Lavallee Fishing near Weymontachie, Quebec

• Overview

  Look for Lac Lavallee in the Mauricie part of Quebec. The water sits 478 metres up. For a base, Weymontachie sits 34 km out. After that come Leblanc at 77 km and La Tuque at 80 km. If this one is busy: 1.9 km away is Lac Arthur, Lac Genois lies 2.1 km on, 2.4 km away is Lac du Chasseur, Lac Rousseau lies 2.5 km on and 2.6 km away is Lac Tango. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lavallee

  Our records hold no depth for this water. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Records held for Mauricie cover northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Treat Lac Lavallee as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 16°C for July and -17°C for January. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May. In an average year the thaw lands around early May and the freeze near mid November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. That shapes the year on Lac Lavallee.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lac Arthur, 1.9 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Lavallee for certain.
