Lac Uiek Fishing Guide, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Within Mauricie, Quebec, you have Lac Uiek. It lies 520 metres above sea level. Surface area runs to about 6 hectares — small enough to read in one session. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Quebec listings. The closest town, Weymontachie, is 31 km away. Leblanc follows at 56 km, then La Tuque at 101 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Uiek

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Records held for Mauricie cover northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Lac Uiek fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -17°C in January and 16°C in July. The year here is short and sharp: a long lid, then a burst of open water. Look for the thaw near early May; the fishing lifts straight after. On average, early May opens the water and mid November closes it again. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Uiek.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Lac Tipinowak, 0.7 km out. Check the position on Lac Uiek before loading the car.
