• Where to Fish on Deuxieme lac Rondeau

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Records held for Lanaudière cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Deuxieme lac Rondeau a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -15°C in January to roughly 17°C in July. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. On Deuxieme lac Rondeau the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Lac Saint-Louis at 2.6 km is the sensible second choice. Ask locally about Deuxieme lac Rondeau if anything is unclear.
