Lac Boisvert Fishing in Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Boisvert stands in Laurentides, Quebec. The surroundings are pine and birch. At about 16 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. There is roughly 2.9 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Nearest place of any size is La Minerve, 11 km away. The big place round here is Orléans, 92 km distant. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Boisvert

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Records held for Laurentides cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Lac Boisvert repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 18°C, while January sits near -14°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. After late April the shallows warm and the fish move up. Open water usually runs from late April until about late November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. That is the shape of the year on Lac Boisvert.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lac Serpent, 1.2 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on Lac Boisvert should be assumed from this page alone.
