Fishing Lac Corriveau in Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  The Laurentides end of Quebec holds Lac Corriveau. The ground around here is rolling bush. Small at around 6 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Head to Saint-Hippolyte, 5 km away, for anything you forgot. Sainte-Marguerite-du-Lac-Masson is 8.1 km away, with Lac-Connelly at 9.1 km. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Lac Corriveau

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Fish documented in Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Work Lac Corriveau in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 19°C, while January sits near -13°C. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. The lid tends to go about late April and return around early December. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. It holds true on Lac Corriveau more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Parking is not close: 1.3 km from the bank, and no nearer option is mapped. There is a pier recorded roughly 1.3 km away. A picnic site 1.4 km off makes this workable with family in tow. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. If the gate is shut, Lac Cromwell at 1.3 km is the nearest alternative. Check the position on Lac Corriveau before loading the car.
