Lac Auger Fishing Guide, Lanaudière, Quebec

• Overview

  Look for Lac Auger in Lanaudière, Quebec. It stands 70 metres above sea level. The far bank is a conversation away, so keep low and quiet. On size it sits at the modest end of our Lanaudière list. Some 1 km away sits Lac-Lapierre, the nearest settlement. It is 21 km to Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne, the nearest city. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Auger

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Open biodiversity records for Lanaudière list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Lac Auger for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -12°C in January up to 20°C in July. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid April. Open water usually runs from mid April until about early December. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Lac Auger fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. The nearest car park we can see is 690 m out, so expect a walk with your gear. Facilities run to toilets 830 m from the water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. If the gate is shut, Lac Morin at 0.2 km is the nearest alternative. Treat access at Lac Auger as something to verify.
