Fishing Lac Pois in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Pois is one of the Mauricie waters in Quebec. The surroundings are spruce and muskeg. This is a pocket water of some 2 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is a small entry by Mauricie standards. Head to Weymontachie, 54 km away, for anything you forgot. The big place round here is Saguenay, 163 km distant. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Pois

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. County-wide records name northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Lac Pois fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -18°C in January to roughly 16°C in July. Cold dominates the calendar on water this far north. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. On Lac Pois the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lac Ble at 0.5 km is the sensible second choice. Signs at Lac Pois carry more weight than any list.
