Lac Barroy Fishing in Lanaudière, Quebec

• Overview

  The Lanaudière end of Quebec holds Lac Barroy. It sits at 421 metres above sea level. Surface area is around 83 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. You are looking at roughly 7.2 km of shoreline, with plenty of water between access points. Few waters listed in Lanaudière are bigger. Head to Manawan, 9.1 km away, for anything you forgot. Further out sit Saint-Michel-des-Saints (79 km) and Weymontachie (82 km). There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Lac Barroy

  We hold no depth figure for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Lanaudière records list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch among the fish reported. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Fish Lac Barroy to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 17°C at the top of summer and -16°C at the bottom of winter. The season is measured in weeks rather than months. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early May. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about mid November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Lac Barroy runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lac Cod at 0.8 km is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Lac Barroy in what we hold.
