Lac Lebeau Fishing in Estrie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Lebeau is one of the Estrie waters in Quebec. It stands 248 metres above sea level. The water measures roughly 3 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. Most waters listed here for Estrie are larger. For supplies, Richmond is 4 km out. Then Windsor, 17 km, and Valcourt, 19 km. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lebeau

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Reported across Estrie: rainbow trout, white sucker, pumpkinseed and brook trout. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. At Lac Lebeau the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 19°C, the coldest about -11°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid April. Break-up sits around mid April on average, with the water closing again about early December. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Anyone fishing Lac Lebeau regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. 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. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Ruisseau des Vases is 8.8 km off. None of that is settled for Lac Lebeau in what we hold.
