Lac Levis Fishing Guide, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Quebec holds Lac Levis, in Mauricie. Height above sea level is 469 metres. Supplies mean a trip to Leblanc, 54 km off. The nearest city of size is Saguenay, 232 km away. Water in the same corner: Lac Roy 1.7 km away, Lac a la Culotte 2.6 km, Lac Paul 2.7 km away, Lac du Pic 2.9 km and Lac Mai 3.5 km away. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Levis

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Mauricie records list northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker among the fish reported. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. On Lac Levis the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -18°C to 16°C. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Time your trip to Lac Levis by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Failing this one, try Lac Roy, 1.7 km away. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Levis for certain.
