Lac Plamondon Fishing Guide, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  This water sits in Mauricie, Quebec. Elevation runs to 472 metres. This is a pocket water of some 5 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Supplies mean a trip to La Tuque, 62 km off. For a city, Trois-Rivières is 116 km off. Nearest other option: Lac Grimard 0.9 km, Petit lac du Chapeau de Paille at about 2.4 km, Lac Vezina 3 km, Lac Kakinokamak at about 3.2 km and Lac Melon 3.3 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Plamondon

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Records held for Mauricie cover northern pike, brook trout and walleye. The county list is broader than any single water. On Lac Plamondon the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 17°C and January about -16°C. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. The water is typically free of ice between early May and mid November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. On Lac Plamondon that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lac Grimard, 0.9 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position at Lac Plamondon before loading the car.
