• Where to Fish on Lac a Pierre

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Fish documented in Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine include American eel, striped bass, alewife, rainbow smelt and brook trout. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Work Lac a Pierre in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -15°C in January up to 15°C in July. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from mid May. On the long-run averages the water opens up around mid May and starts locking again about early November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lac a Pierre.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. For a change of water, Lac Ebron is 0.4 km distant.
