Lac Perdix Fishing Guide, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Perdix is a Mauricie water, Quebec side. The bank is 555 metres above sea level. With some 13 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. About 1.6 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Compared with other Quebec water on our list, it sits high. The closest town, Weymontachie, is 23 km away. Further out sit Leblanc (37 km) and Manawan (92 km). It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Perdix

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Records held for Mauricie cover northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The shape of Lac Perdix decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 16°C, with January the cold end at about -17°C. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early May. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. That is the shape of the year on Lac Perdix.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Lac Okowio at 2.8 km is the sensible second choice. For Lac Perdix, the notice at the access point is the final word.
