• Where to Fish on Deuxieme lac Nord

  We hold no depth figure for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Lanaudière cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Work Deuxieme lac Nord in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 17°C on average, January about -16°C. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. Break-up near early May, freeze-up near mid November: that is the shape of an average year. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Anyone fishing Deuxieme lac Nord regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Troisieme lac Nord at 1 km is the nearest alternative. Confirm before you fish Deuxieme lac Nord.
