Lac Rose Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Quebec holds Lac Rose, in Mauricie. The water sits 389 metres up. About 5 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. On size it sits at the modest end of our Mauricie list. La Tuque lies 14 km from the water. Laurentides is 46 km and Sainte-Thècle 74 km. Neighbouring water: Lac New some 0.5 km off, Lac Hay within 1.2 km, Lac Raisin some 1.3 km off, Lac Bourgeoys within 2.1 km and Lac Tessier some 2.1 km off. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Rose

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Open biodiversity records for Mauricie list northern pike, brook trout and walleye. The county list is broader than any single water. Read Lac Rose for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 17°C, the coldest about -16°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near mid November in autumn. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Rose.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Boats go in at Rampe, roughly 1.1 km from the water. 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. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lac New sits 0.5 km off and takes the overflow. Check the position on Lac Rose before loading the car.
