Lac Perdrix Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  In Quebec, Lac Perdrix falls inside Mauricie. It lies 340 metres above sea level. The water measures roughly 5 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. Weymontachie lies 52 km from the water. For a city, Saguenay is 158 km off. Others within reach: Lac Martel lies 1.6 km on, Petit lac Beaver near enough 3.2 km, Lac Catherine lies 4.6 km on, Lac Trompeur near enough 5 km and Lac Florida lies 5.5 km on. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Perdrix

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. County-wide records name northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. The near bank of Lac Perdrix is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 17°C on average, January about -17°C. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. 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. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Lac Perdrix fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. The nearest alternative is Lac Martel, 1.6 km out. None of that is settled for Lac Perdrix in what we hold.
