Fishing at Lac Audy, Estrie, Quebec

• Overview

  This water sits in Estrie, Quebec. The setting is pine and birch. Small even by pond standards, it rewards one careful line. It is a small entry by Estrie standards. Weedon Centre sits 10 km from the bank. Disraeli is 25 km away, with Val-des-Sources at 28 km. In the same area: Lac de Vase after 3 km, Lac Fer a Cheval a shade over 5.8 km, Lac a la Truite after 6.9 km, Lac Welland a shade over 8 km and Lac Vaseux after 8.7 km. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Lac Audy

  Depth figures are not published for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Survey and observation records for Estrie include rainbow trout, white sucker, pumpkinseed and brook trout. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. The near bank of Lac Audy is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 18°C and January near -12°C. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Lac Audy fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. 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. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. If the gate is shut, Lac de Vase at 3 km is the nearest alternative. Treat Lac Audy as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
