Lac Allet near Mont-Laurier: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  This water sits in Laurentides, Quebec. The bank gives way to rolling bush. It runs to roughly 20 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. A shoreline of some 1.9 km keeps the choices simple. Nearest town is Mont-Laurier, 21 km off. It is 108 km to Orléans, the nearest city. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Lac Allet

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Reported across Laurentides: pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Anyone new to Lac Allet should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 18°C at the top of summer and -15°C at the bottom of winter. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. On average, late April opens the water and late November closes it again. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Time your trip to Lac Allet by conditions rather than dates.
