• Where to Fish on Lac du Canot Cache

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. The near bank of Lac du Canot Cache is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 17°C, while January sits near -16°C. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May.

Time your trip to Lac du Canot Cache by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lac du Radeau sits 0.9 km off and takes the overflow. Treat Lac du Canot Cache as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
