• Where to Fish on Lac Perdrix

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Lac Perdrix gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 16°C on average, January about -17°C. Winter runs most of the calendar, and everything worth doing happens in the gap. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. The water is typically free of ice between early May and mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. On Lac Perdrix the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. If the gate is shut, Lac de Travers at 0.6 km is the nearest alternative. For Lac Perdrix, the notice at the access point is the final word.
