Public occurrence data for Lanaudière names pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, rock bass and brook trout. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Work Lac d'Argent in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -13°C to 19°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about late November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. At Lac d'Argent the season follows that pattern closely.
