The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Deuxieme lac Busby

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Laurentides records list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass among the fish reported. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. At Deuxieme lac Busby the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 18°C; by January the average is down near -16°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about late November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Anyone fishing Deuxieme lac Busby regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Troisieme lac Busby at 1.3 km is the sensible second choice.
