• Overview

  Set in Mauricie, Quebec, this is Lac Pyrex. It stands 443 metres above sea level. Roughly 17 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other.

Also worth knowing: Lac du Savon at 1.3 km, Lac Marot after 1.3 km, Lac Ciral at 2 km, Lac du Canso after 2.1 km and Lac du Poulet at 2.2 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Pyrex

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Reported across Mauricie: northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Lac Pyrex gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 16°C and January reads -18°C. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around early May. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about mid November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. The season on Lac Pyrex follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lac du Savon, 1.3 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Ask locally about Lac Pyrex if anything is unclear.
