Lac Desourdy Fishing in Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Look for Lac Desourdy in the Laurentides part of Quebec. The bank is 386 metres above sea level. Surface area runs to about 3 hectares — small enough to read in one session. It is a small entry by Laurentides standards. Some 92 km away sits Ferme-Neuve, the nearest settlement. Mont-Laurier follows at 106 km, then Saint-Boniface at 109 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Desourdy

  We hold no depth figure for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Survey and observation records for Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Read Lac Desourdy for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 17°C and January near -17°C on the long-run figures. Little of the calendar is open water, so timing counts for everything. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early May. Expect the water usable from around early May until roughly mid November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Plan any trip to Lac Desourdy around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. 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. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. The nearest alternative is Lac Tedder, 1.2 km out. Treat Lac Desourdy as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
