Lac Colette near Prévost: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Lac Colette is one of the Laurentides waters in Quebec. The shore lies 33 km out. About 2 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. On size it sits at the modest end of our Laurentides list. You are 3.4 km from Prévost. Terrasse-des-Pins is 4.1 km and Piedmont 6.7 km. Others close at hand: Lac Pelletier 0.2 km off, Lac Suzanne (0.4 km), Lac Parent 1 km off, Lac Saint-Amour (1.9 km) and Lac Marois 2 km off. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac Colette

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Species logged across Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. The county list is broader than any single water. The shape of Lac Colette decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 19°C and January near -12°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly early December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Time your trip to Lac Colette by conditions rather than dates.
