Fishing Lac Laverdier in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Laverdier belongs to Mauricie, Quebec. The surface lies 477 metres up. It measures about 15 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. The full circuit measures close to 1.8 km on foot. Leblanc lies 66 km from the water. Chapais follows at 112 km, then Weymontachie at 112 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Laverdier

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. 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. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Lac Laverdier fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 16°C in July and bottom out at -18°C in January. The window is narrow, and fish feed hard while it lasts. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Lac Laverdier the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lac Britton at 0.5 km is the sensible second choice. What applies at Lac Laverdier may have changed since it was mapped.
