Then Saint-Prime, 64 km, and Roberval, 67 km. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Marie

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Mauricie records list northern pike, brook trout and walleye among the fish reported. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Fish Lac Marie where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 16°C and January near -18°C on the long-run figures. The window is narrow, and fish feed hard while it lasts. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. The open-water window runs from around early May to about mid November in an average year. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. That shapes the year on Lac Marie.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac de la Trompe at 2.6 km is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Lac Marie before loading the car.
