Lac de l'Aqueduc, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac de l'Aqueduc stands in Laurentides, Quebec. Height above sea level is 305 metres. The water measures roughly 8 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. There is roughly 2.0 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Some 15 km away sits Rivière-Rouge, the nearest settlement. The big place round here is Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne, 121 km distant. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac de l'Aqueduc

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Survey and observation records for Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. 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

  Between January at about -15°C and July at about 18°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Open water usually runs from late April until about late November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac de l'Aqueduc.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. 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. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. The nearest alternative is Lac Desjardins, 3.4 km out. Check the current arrangement for Lac de l'Aqueduc.
