Lac Long Fishing near Saint-Ubalde, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Long lies within the bounds of Mauricie, Quebec. It sits at 214 metres above sea level. Around 11 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Roughly 1.5 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. It is low-lying compared with other Quebec water we list. Saint-Ubalde is the closest place, 17 km off. Trois-Rivières sits 67 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Lac Long

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Species logged across Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. The shape of Lac Long rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 18°C at the top of summer and -14°C at the bottom of winter. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. The season on Lac Long rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lac a l'Equerre at 0.6 km is the sensible second choice. Where Lac Long is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
