Lac Lucy Fishing Guide, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Mauricie, Quebec, is where Lac Lucy sits. The country round it is northern bush from end to end. Around 57 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Around 10 km of bank, which is a long day on foot. Size puts it in the front rank of our Mauricie list. Nearest town is Leblanc, 99 km off. Manawan is 114 km and Ferme-Neuve 131 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lucy

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Across Mauricie, recorded fish include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Treat Lac Lucy as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -17°C in January and 16°C in July. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about mid November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Plan around that when you fish Lac Lucy.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Should this one be busy, Lac Head is 1.8 km off. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Lucy for certain.
