• Where to Fish on Lac Georges

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Reported across Laurentides: pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Lac Georges the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 18°C and January reads -15°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. After late April the shallows warm and the fish move up. Open water usually runs from late April until about late November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. On Lac Georges the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Should this one be busy, Lac du Chene is 1.8 km off. Confirm before you fish Lac Georges.
