Lac de l'Aqueduc Fishing Guide, Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac de l'Aqueduc lies within the bounds of Laurentides, Quebec. This is lake country bush ground. It covers about 8 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour.

Within easy reach: Lac Travers just 0.4 km, Lac Forget 1 km, Lac Dufour just 1.9 km, Lac Maskinonge 3.2 km and Lac Duhamel just 3.2 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac de l'Aqueduc

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Records held for Laurentides cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Fish Lac de l'Aqueduc where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 19°C; the cold one sits at -14°C. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. The season on Lac de l'Aqueduc rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Mapping shows a jetty some 150 m off. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lac Travers at 0.4 km is the sensible second choice. Signs at Lac de l'Aqueduc carry more weight than any list.
