Petit lac Georges in Mauricie: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Look for Petit lac Georges in Mauricie, Quebec. The water sits 294 metres up. This is a pocket water of some 2 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Most waters listed here for Mauricie are larger. La Tuque sits 37 km from here and is the nearest stop. For a city, Saguenay is 152 km off. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Petit lac Georges

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Across Mauricie, recorded fish include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. The shape of Petit lac Georges decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 17°C and January near -16°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Open water usually runs from late April until about mid November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Petit lac Georges runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lac Georges, 1.4 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat Petit lac Georges as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
