Lac Pierre Fishing Guide, Capitale-Nationale, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Pierre falls in Capitale-Nationale, part of Quebec. This is pine and birch country. At roughly 7 hectares, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. For a base, Saint-Marc-des-Carrières sits 17 km out. After that come Saint-Ubalde at 18 km and Saint-Raymond at 19 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Pierre

  Our records hold no depth for this water. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Open biodiversity records for Capitale-Nationale list lake sturgeon, Atlantic sturgeon and longnose sucker. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Lac Pierre the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 18°C and January at -14°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. The season on Lac Pierre follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Walleye come to jigs worked slow near bottom, and to trolled crankbaits along the drops at dusk. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. The nearest alternative is Lac Bailly, 0.6 km out. Where Lac Pierre is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
