Look for Lac Suzanne in Mauricie, Quebec. Elevation runs to 530 metres. This is a pocket water of some 7 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Quebec listings. The town to know is Weymontachie, 57 km out. Saint-Félicien lies 72 km off, Saint-Prime another 75 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.
Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Mauricie cover northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. The shape of Lac Suzanne decides where the fish sit.
Climate records put July near 16°C and January near -18°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. Expect the water usable from around early May until roughly mid November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. That shapes the year on Lac Suzanne.
No access rule appears in what we hold. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Should this one be busy, Lac Topaze is 0.7 km off. Confirm access to Lac Suzanne locally before you travel.
