Fishing Lac Remi in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  In Quebec, Lac Remi falls inside Mauricie. The water sits 450 metres up. The nearest town is La Tuque, 41 km away. Then Weymontachie, 74 km, and Laurentides, 79 km. Others worth noting: Lac Patate within 0.7 km, Lac Vitamine after 1.2 km, Lac David within 1.3 km, Lac Vingt-Huit after 1.4 km and Lac des Attelles within 2 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Remi

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Species logged across Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Fish Lac Remi where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• 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. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. Break-up near early May, freeze-up near mid November: that is the shape of an average year. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Lac Remi fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Lac Patate, 0.7 km out. What applies at Lac Remi may have changed since it was mapped.
