Lac Voisin near La Tuque: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Lac Voisin sits in Mauricie, out in Quebec. It sits at 286 metres above sea level. Surface area is around 23 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. Bank access stretches around 2.3 km in total. La Tuque lies 19 km from the water. It is 141 km to Trois-Rivières, the nearest city. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Voisin

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Mauricie, recorded fish include northern pike, brook trout and walleye. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Lac Voisin the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 17°C at the top of summer and -16°C at the bottom of winter. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. On average, late April opens the water and late November closes it again. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. That shapes the year on Lac Voisin.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac de l'Equerre sits 1.1 km off and takes the overflow. Treat Lac Voisin as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
