• Where to Fish on Lac Moqueur

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Public occurrence data for Mauricie names northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. The county list is broader than any single water. On Lac Moqueur the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

  Average temperature peaks around 18°C in July and bottoms out near -15°C in January. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. The lid tends to go about late April and return around late November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Plan around that when you fish Lac Moqueur.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass.
