Lac du Navet Fishing Guide, Lanaudière, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac du Navet is listed under Lanaudière, Quebec. The bank is 452 metres above sea level. It covers about 4 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Saint-Michel-des-Saints is the closest place, 22 km off. Trois-Rivières sits 90 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Navet

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Lanaudière records list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch among the fish reported. The county list is broader than any single water. Take Lac du Navet a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 17°C, the coldest about -15°C. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about late November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. That shapes the year on Lac du Navet.

Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground.
