Lac Moore Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Moore sits within Mauricie in Quebec. Height above sea level is 429 metres. At 1.37 sq km this is proper open water rather than a pond. Shoreline length is close to 12 km, and each section fishes a little differently. Size puts it in the front rank of our Mauricie list. Start from Leblanc, 43 km down the road. Trois-Rivières is the closest city, 247 km away. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Moore

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Species logged across Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Lac Moore gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 16°C in July and bottoms out near -17°C in January. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near mid November in autumn. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Anyone fishing Lac Moore regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lac Argaut at 3.2 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to Lac Moore locally before you travel.
