Lac Proquau Fishing Guide, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Proquau is set in Mauricie, Quebec. Elevation runs to 306 metres. The water measures roughly 8 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. Start from La Tuque, 10 km down the road. Trois-Rivières sits 119 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. Close by you also have: Lac au Foin within 0.8 km, Lac a la Ligne roughly 0.9 km, Lac le Fouet within 1 km, Lac M roughly 1.2 km and Lac Nore within 1.8 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Proquau

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Species logged across Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. At Lac Proquau the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 18°C and January reads -15°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly late November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Expect Lac Proquau to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Sort the permit out before you load the car. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Failing this one, try Lac au Foin, 0.8 km away. Nothing on Lac Proquau should be assumed from this page alone.
