Lac Lucratia, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Lucratia belongs to Mauricie, Quebec. Elevation runs to 457 metres. The water covers some 58 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The whole outline is near 4.3 km, and most of it is walkable. It is among the larger waters listed here for Mauricie. Supplies mean a trip to Weymontachie, 38 km off. Further out sit Leblanc (79 km) and La Tuque (80 km). The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lucratia

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Public occurrence data for Mauricie names northern pike, brook trout and walleye. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The shape of Lac Lucratia decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 17°C in July and bottom out at -17°C in January. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early May until roughly mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Anyone fishing Lac Lucratia regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Lac Desilets is 1 km off. For Lac Lucratia, the notice at the access point is the final word.
