Lac Agonac in Lanaudière: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  This water sits in Lanaudière, Quebec. It sits in northern bush country. About 2 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Our Lanaudière list holds plenty of bigger water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Agonac

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Reported across Lanaudière: pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and rock bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Take Lac Agonac a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 17°C, with January the cold end at about -15°C. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. Break-up sits around early May on average, with the water closing again about mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Plan around that when you fish Lac Agonac.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Failing this one, try Lac Metterie, 0.9 km away. What applies at Lac Agonac may have changed since it was mapped.
