• Where to Fish on Lac Equerre

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Reported across Laurentides: pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Lac Equerre gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 18°C; the cold one sits at -14°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. After late April the shallows warm and the fish move up. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly late November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Time your trip to Lac Equerre by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. If the gate is shut, Lac Myre at 1 km is the nearest alternative. The position on Lac Equerre is worth confirming on the day.
