• Where to Fish on Lac Carya

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Public occurrence data for Lanaudière names pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and rock bass. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. The shape of Lac Carya decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 17°C in July and bottom out at -15°C in January. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Ice-out usually falls in early May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. On average, early May opens the water and late November closes it again. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. That shapes the year on Lac Carya.
