Lac Morion in Mauricie: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Lac Morion belongs to Mauricie, Quebec. The setting is boreal forest on every side. Small at around 2 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. On size it sits at the modest end of our Mauricie list. You are 63 km from Leblanc. The nearest city of size is Saguenay, 232 km away. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Morion

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. County-wide records name northern pike, brook trout and walleye. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. On Lac Morion that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -18°C in January and 16°C in July. Cold dominates the calendar on water this far north. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early May. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early May until roughly mid November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. That shapes the year on Lac Morion.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. The nearest alternative is Lac Leaz, 0.3 km out. Signs at Lac Morion carry more weight than any list.
