Lac Rameau Fishing Guide, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Rameau in Mauricie, Quebec. The bank is 401 metres above sea level. The water covers some 25 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Around 3.5 km of margin, front to back. For a base, La Tuque sits 40 km out. Laurentides is 76 km and Sainte-Thècle 77 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Rameau

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Open biodiversity records for Mauricie list northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. At Lac Rameau the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 17°C in July and bottoms out near -16°C in January. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early May. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about mid November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Plan any trip to Lac Rameau around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Lac Tmakwa at 0.9 km is the nearest alternative. Confirm access to Lac Rameau locally before you travel.
