Lac Perron Fishing near Saint-Ubalde, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Perron lies within the bounds of Mauricie, Quebec. The country round it is pine and birch from end to end. At roughly 10 hectares, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. The whole outline is near 1.7 km, and most of it is walkable. It lies lower than most water we list in Quebec. Head to Saint-Ubalde, 9.3 km away, for anything you forgot. It is 57 km to Trois-Rivières, the nearest city. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Lac Perron

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. County-wide records name northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. The shape of Lac Perron decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 19°C; by January the average is down near -14°C. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Open water usually runs from late April until about late November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Time your trip to Lac Perron by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one.
