Lac Querry Fishing Guide, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Querry is set in Mauricie, Quebec. Around the bank it is northern bush. It runs to roughly 33 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Shoreline comes to about 4.4 km, small enough to learn in a day. 90 km away sits Leblanc, the nearest town. Then Chapais, 90 km, and Chibougamau, 94 km. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac Querry

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Mauricie records list northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Fish Lac Querry to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -18°C and July at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. Break-up near early May, freeze-up near mid November: that is the shape of an average year. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Lac Querry runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Lac Joigny is 1.1 km off. What applies at Lac Querry may have changed since it was mapped.
