• Overview

  This water sits in Lanaudière, Quebec. It sits at 508 metres above sea level. Roughly 15 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other.

For a city, Trois-Rivières is 203 km off. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Falcon

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. 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. Records held for Lanaudière cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, rock bass and brook trout. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Fish Lac Falcon where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -16°C in January up to 16°C in July. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about mid November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Falcon.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac Bent sits 0.9 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Lac Falcon should be assumed from this page alone.
