Lac Quirk, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Out in Mauricie, Quebec, sits Lac Quirk. Height above sea level is 429 metres. This is a pocket water of some 5 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. The town to know is Weymontachie, 27 km out. Trois-Rivières is the closest city, 181 km away. Water in the same corner: Lac Touridi some 5.5 km off, Lac du Coucou after 6.4 km, Lac Donat some 7.1 km off, Lac Rand after 7.7 km and Lac Tigas some 7.8 km off. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Quirk

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Fish documented in Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. The shape of Lac Quirk rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 17°C; by January the average is down near -16°C. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. On average, early May opens the water and mid November closes it again. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. At Lac Quirk the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lac Touridi at 5.5 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Lac Quirk should be assumed from this page alone.
