Lac des Perdrix Fishing Guide, Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Laurentides in Quebec is where Lac des Perdrix sits. The bank gives way to lake country bush. Small at around 2 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Most waters listed here for Laurentides are larger. Lac-Alouette lies 1.7 km from the water. Sainte-Sophie is 3.5 km and Saint-Jérôme 7 km. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Lac des Perdrix

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Laurentides records list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout among the fish reported. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Read Lac des Perdrix for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -12°C and July at about 20°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Count the season from break-up, usually mid April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about mid April until roughly early December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. The season on Lac des Perdrix rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Parking is not close: 1.1 km from the bank, and no nearer option is mapped. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lac Lamarche at 1.3 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Lac des Perdrix should be assumed from this page alone.
