Lac Blondin, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Blondin sits within Laurentides in Quebec. Land around it is rolling bush. About 3 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is a small entry by Laurentides standards. 1.2 km away sits Prévost, the nearest town. It is 29 km to Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne, the nearest city. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Blondin

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Survey and observation records for Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. The shape of Lac Blondin decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 19°C and January about -12°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. On average, late April opens the water and early December closes it again. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. That is the shape of the year on Lac Blondin.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. The nearest mapped parking is 990 m away, so the last stretch is on foot. A rest area sits about 900 m from the water. There are toilets 1.4 km off. 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. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Lac Paquette is 1.5 km distant. Where Lac Blondin is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
