Lac Acon, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Look for Lac Acon in Lanaudière, Quebec. The ground around here is boreal forest. It covers about 3 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Our Lanaudière list holds plenty of bigger water. For supplies, Saint-Donat-de-Montcalm is 37 km out. For a city, Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne is 114 km off. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Acon

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Reported across Lanaudière: pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Lac Acon the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 17°C; by January the average is down near -15°C. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. The open-water window runs from around early May to about mid November in an average year. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Time your trip to Lac Acon by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Should this one be busy, Lac Gilette is 1 km off. Check the position on Lac Acon before loading the car.
