Cloud from horizon to horizon today, with a mirror surface most of the day and the barometer holding steady. Start the search at Lac Harol along shallow cover and weed edges. One clear peak today: the night. Work fewer spots, but work them properly. The pre-winter feed makes autumn days generous.

Lac Harol is listed under Laurentides, Quebec. It sits at 466 metres above sea level. The water measures roughly 4 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. Supplies mean a trip to Rivière-Rouge, 32 km off. Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne is the closest city, 124 km away. Others worth noting: Lac Chamelet within 0.5 km, Lac Charlie 0.9 km away, Lac Velines within 0.9 km, Lac Mazet 0.9 km away and Lac Glen within 1.2 km. This one is safely inside the county line.
Our records hold no depth for this water. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records held for Laurentides cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. The shape of Lac Harol rewards a slow walk along one bank.
In an average year July sits at 17°C and January at -15°C. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about late November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. On Lac Harol that shapes the whole year.
Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lac Chamelet sits 0.5 km off and takes the overflow. Check the position at Lac Harol before loading the car.
