One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Lac Light

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Records held for Mauricie cover northern pike, brook trout and walleye. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Lac Light the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 16°C, with January the cold end at about -16°C. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early May. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Expect Lac Light to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Lac du Plan Perdu is 1 km distant. Nothing on Lac Light should be assumed from this page alone.
