Reported across Laurentides: pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Fish Lac Denige to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

The season between ice runs from about late April to late November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. The season on Lac Denige follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. 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. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold.
