Lac Splice Fishing in Lanaudière, Quebec

• Overview

  Lanaudière in Quebec is where Lac Splice sits. Height above sea level is 443 metres. With some 15 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. About 2.6 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. For a base, Saint-Michel-des-Saints sits 50 km out. It is 118 km to Trois-Rivières, the nearest city. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Splice

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Survey and observation records for Lanaudière include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, rock bass and brook trout. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Treat Lac Splice as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -16°C in January up to 17°C in July. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. The lid tends to go about early May and return around mid November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. It holds true on Lac Splice more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Should this one be busy, Lac Catinon is 1.4 km off. Ask locally about Lac Splice if anything is unclear.
