Lac Anicet Fishing Guide, Lanaudière, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Anicet in Lanaudière, Quebec. The setting is mixed forest on every side. The water covers around 1.60 sq km, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. On our Lanaudière list it sits near the top for size. Saint-Michel-des-Saints lies 16 km from the water. It is 111 km to Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne, the nearest city. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Anicet

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Open biodiversity records for Lanaudière list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and rock bass. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Work Lac Anicet in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 17°C, with January the cold end at about -15°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. The lid usually goes in early May, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about late November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Plan around that when you fish Lac Anicet.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lac Saint-Elphege at 1.8 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Anicet for certain.
