Lac Saint-Cyr Fishing Guide, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Saint-Cyr is a Mauricie water, in Quebec. Land around it is spruce and muskeg. The closest town, Lebel-sur-Quévillon, is 100 km away. After that come Leblanc at 112 km and Waswanipi at 116 km. More in the same country: Lac Cherrier at 6.6 km, Lac Mesplet lies 7.6 km on, Lac de l'Eau Verte at 10 km, Lac Banane lies 11 km on and Lac Roger at 13 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Saint-Cyr

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Survey and observation records for Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout and walleye. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Read Lac Saint-Cyr before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 16°C, the coldest about -19°C. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early May until roughly mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Time your trip to Lac Saint-Cyr by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. For a change of water, Lac Cherrier is 6.6 km distant. Treat access at Lac Saint-Cyr as something to verify.
