Lac Beaudry Fishing Guide, Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Beaudry lies in Laurentides, in Quebec. The water sits 454 metres up. Roughly 12 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Around 2.0 km of margin, front to back. The nearest place of any size is Manawan, 46 km away. Rivière-Rouge follows at 54 km, then Ferme-Neuve at 56 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Beaudry

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Open biodiversity records for Laurentides list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Lac Beaudry gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 17°C and January about -16°C. Winter runs most of the calendar, and everything worth doing happens in the gap. Ice-out usually falls in early May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about mid November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Lac Beaudry runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lac la Puce sits 0.6 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Lac Beaudry should be assumed from this page alone.
