Lac Lucie Fishing near La Tuque, Quebec

• Overview

• Where to Fish on Lac Lucie

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. County-wide records name northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. On Lac Lucie a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 17°C at the top of summer and -16°C at the bottom of winter. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. On average, early May opens the water and mid November closes it again. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Lac Lucie fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. The nearest alternative is Lac de la Cuve, 1.5 km out. Treat Lac Lucie as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
