Petit lac Beaver Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Petit lac Beaver is set in Mauricie, Quebec. This is northern bush country. At 6 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Weymontachie is the closest town at 55 km. Then La Tuque, 77 km, and Saint-Félicien, 78 km. Others within reach: Lac Martel at about 1.6 km, Lac Trompeur (2.6 km), Lac Cheer at about 2.9 km, Lac Perdrix (3.2 km) and Lac en Biseau at about 4.7 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Petit lac Beaver

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. County-wide records name northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Fish Petit lac Beaver to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -17°C in January to roughly 16°C in July. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May. The lid tends to go about early May and return around mid November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. It holds true on Petit lac Beaver more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. For a change of water, Lac Martel is 1.6 km distant. Rules at Petit lac Beaver are worth checking on the day.
