Lac Gordon Fishing Guide, Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Quebec holds Lac Gordon, in Laurentides. Beyond the shoreline you have lake country bush. The water measures roughly 6 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. The closest town, Saint-Hippolyte, is 3.8 km distant. The nearest city of size is Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne, 31 km away. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Lac Gordon

  We hold no depth figure for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Laurentides records list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Read Lac Gordon for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -12°C to 19°C. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. The season between ice runs from about late April to early December. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. That is the shape of the year on Lac Gordon.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. A carry of 630 m from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Lac Fournelle is 0.8 km distant. Ask locally about Lac Gordon if anything is unclear.
