• Where to Fish on Lac Hericy

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Laurentides records list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Lac Hericy gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 17°C, with January the cold end at about -15°C. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near mid November in autumn. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lac Hericy.

• Tackle & Baits
