Fishing Lac Auget in Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Laurentides in Quebec is where Lac Auget sits. Country round the bank runs to lake country bush. A splashy cast here empties the swim; a quiet one owns it. Most waters listed here for Laurentides are larger. La Minerve is the closest place, 9.2 km off. Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel is 19 km and Lac-Simon 19 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Auget

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. 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. County-wide records name pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Treat Lac Auget as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 18°C and January at -14°C. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. On average, late April opens the water and late November closes it again. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Plan any trip to Lac Auget around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lac Paul, 1 km away, makes the obvious fallback. What applies at Lac Auget may have changed since it was mapped.
