Lac Burnett Fishing in Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Burnett is listed under Laurentides, Quebec. It lies 449 metres above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 7 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel at 27 km is the nearest place to stop. La Minerve lies 35 km off, Mont-Laurier another 45 km. Also within reach: Lac des Barbons (1 km), Lac McKavanaugh just 1.1 km, Lac Origny (2.3 km), Lac Meliot just 2.3 km and Lac du Roc (2.5 km). Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Lac Burnett

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Reported across Laurentides: pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. At Lac Burnett light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 18°C; the cold one sits at -14°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near late November in autumn. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Time your trip to Lac Burnett by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Lac des Barbons, 1 km out. None of that is settled for Lac Burnett in what we hold.
