Lac Tremblay in Mauricie: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Lac Tremblay lies in Mauricie, Quebec. The country here is taiga. It measures about 23 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. Roughly 3.7 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. Supplies mean a trip to Weymontachie, 14 km off. It is 195 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Tremblay

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Records held for Mauricie cover northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Fish Lac Tremblay to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 16°C; the cold one sits at -17°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Ice-out usually falls in early May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about mid November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. That shapes the year on Lac Tremblay.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac Bluet sits 0.6 km off and takes the overflow.
