Lac Lucienne in Mauricie: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Mauricie in Quebec is where Lac Lucienne sits. It stands 539 metres above sea level. About 4 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Our Mauricie list holds plenty of bigger water. The town to know is Weymontachie, 63 km out. The nearest city of size is Saguenay, 156 km away. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lucienne

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Open biodiversity records for Mauricie list northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. On Lac Lucienne the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -18°C and July at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at mid November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Lac Lucienne runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No built facilities appear in mapping around this 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. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Lac Brenard is 0.8 km off. What applies at Lac Lucienne may have changed since it was mapped.
