Lac Soixante, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Soixante belongs to Mauricie, Quebec. The surface lies 350 metres up. It runs to roughly 14 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The whole outline is near 2.2 km, and most of it is walkable. 62 km away sits Weymontachie, the nearest town. Further out sit Roberval (74 km) and Saint-Prime (74 km). The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Soixante

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Mauricie records list northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch among the fish reported. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Work Lac Soixante in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 16°C and January about -17°C. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early May. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Time your trip to Lac Soixante by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. 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. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lac du Bambou, 1.4 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat access at Lac Soixante as something to verify.
