Fishing Lac Fedry in Lanaudière, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Fedry is one of the Lanaudière waters in Quebec. The bank is 464 metres above sea level. The closest town, Saint-Michel-des-Saints, is 34 km away. After that come Manawan at 49 km and Saint-Donat-de-Montcalm at 52 km. Nearby alternatives: Lac Duffort just 0.7 km, Lac Hurbin about 1.4 km, Lac Gesseron just 1.8 km, Lac Saclas about 2 km and Lac Larobel just 2 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Fedry

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Lanaudière, recorded fish include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. At Lac Fedry the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -16°C in January and 17°C in July. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. Climate averages put the opening at about early May and the closing near mid November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Plan around that when you fish Lac Fedry.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac Duffort at 0.7 km is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Lac Fedry in what we hold.
