Lac Rejeanne Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Rejeanne sits within Mauricie in Quebec. The surface lies 313 metres up. With some 10 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. The edge runs 1.2 km or so, easy to work in an afternoon. For a base, La Tuque sits 42 km out. Laurentides is 73 km and Métabetchouan 77 km. Also within reach: Lac Renald (0.6 km), Lac Jeannette at 1.2 km, Lac Chausson (1.4 km), Lac Palembert at 2 km and Lac Rochu (2.1 km). Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Lac Rejeanne

  We hold no depth figure for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for 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. Fish Lac Rejeanne where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 17°C for July and -16°C for January. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near mid November: that is the shape of an average year. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Plan around that when you fish Lac Rejeanne.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Failing this one, try Lac Renald, 0.6 km away. What applies at Lac Rejeanne may have changed since it was mapped.
