• Where to Fish on Lac des Soeurs

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Public occurrence data for Laurentides names pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. At Lac des Soeurs the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac des Soeurs.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Petit lac Grenville is 1.2 km off. Check the position at Lac des Soeurs before loading the car.
