Lac Mos Fishing Guide, Lanaudière, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Mos is one of the Lanaudière listings for Quebec. The surface lies 462 metres up. The water covers some 11 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Bank access stretches around 1.7 km in total. Manawan lies 33 km from the water. Trois-Rivières is the closest city, 138 km away. Close by you have: Lac Necessite at about 2.7 km, Lac Alec 3 km, Lac Bouchard at about 3.6 km, Lac Fernand 4.4 km and Lac Coria at about 5.3 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Mos

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Fish documented in Lanaudière include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, rock bass and brook trout. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Anyone new to Lac Mos should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 17°C in July and bottom out at -16°C in January. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Open water usually runs from early May until about mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Mos.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. 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. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Lac Necessite is 2.7 km off. Check the position at Lac Mos before loading the car.
