Lac Qui-Mord Fishing near La Tuque, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Qui-Mord lies in Mauricie, in Quebec. It sits at 363 metres above sea level. At about 13 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. Roughly 2.0 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. Some 33 km away sits La Tuque, the nearest settlement. Laurentides is 66 km and Métabetchouan 86 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Qui-Mord

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish documented in Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. The shape of Lac Qui-Mord rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 17°C in July and bottom out at -16°C in January. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. The open-water window runs from around late April to about mid November in an average year. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. On Lac Qui-Mord the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lac du Fond sits 1.1 km off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish Lac Qui-Mord.
