  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. On Lac Huguette the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

  Climate records put July near 18°C and January near -14°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. Ice clears near late April and comes back about late November in a typical year. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. On Lac Huguette that shapes the whole year.
