• Where to Fish on Lac Equerre

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Laurentides records list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout among the fish reported. The county list is broader than any single water. The shape of Lac Equerre decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 18°C in July and bottom out at -13°C in January. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. The open-water window runs from around late April to about late November in an average year. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. On Lac Equerre that shapes the whole year.
