Lac Clement, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Set in Laurentides, Quebec, this is Lac Clement. The surface lies 245 metres up. It runs to roughly 15 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Around 2.5 km of margin, front to back. The closest town, Lac-Simon, is 3 km away. La Conception is 6.2 km away, with Labelle at 15 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Clement

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Laurentides records list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass among the fish reported. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Lac Clement fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 18°C and January about -14°C. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. The open-water window runs from around late April to about late November in an average year. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Anyone fishing Lac Clement regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. The nearest alternative is Lac Castor, 0.8 km out. Treat Lac Clement as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
