Fishing at Lac Victor, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Victor belongs to Mauricie, Quebec. The ground round it is spruce and muskeg. About 9 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. The town to know is Weymontachie, 33 km out. It is 199 km to Trois-Rivières, the nearest city. Others worth noting: Lac Georgette within 0.6 km, Lac Edmond roughly 1.1 km, Lac Maurice within 1.6 km, Lac Bouleau roughly 2.3 km and Lac Duck within 2.4 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Victor

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Mauricie records list northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch among the fish reported. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The shape of Lac Victor rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 16°C; the cold one sits at -16°C. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early May.
