• Where to Fish on Lac Alex

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. 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. Open biodiversity records for Lanaudière list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and rock bass. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Lac Alex the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lac Long, 1 km away, makes the obvious fallback. The position on Lac Alex is worth confirming on the day.
