Lac Pot Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Within Mauricie, Quebec, you have Lac Pot. The surroundings are boreal forest. About 3 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Our Mauricie list holds plenty of bigger water. Leblanc lies 56 km from the water. Weymontachie is 68 km and Manawan 70 km. Others worth noting: Lac Pilon some 1.2 km off, Lac Frog within 1.2 km, Lac Bow some 2.4 km off, Lac Racine within 2.8 km and Lac Simard some 3.3 km off. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Pot

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Across Mauricie, recorded fish include northern pike, brook trout and walleye. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Lac Pot gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 16°C and January near -17°C on the long-run figures. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. The lid usually goes in early May, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at mid November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. At Lac Pot the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. If the gate is shut, Lac Pilon at 1.2 km is the nearest alternative. Ask locally about Lac Pot if anything is unclear.
