Lac Kenny in Laurentides: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Within Laurentides, Quebec, you have Lac Kenny. Around the bank it is mixed forest. Roughly 22 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. The bank runs about 2.4 km all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. For supplies, Lachute is 10 km out. After that come Brownsburg-Chatham at 11 km and Saint-Canut at 17 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Kenny

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Reported across Laurentides: pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. The shape of Lac Kenny rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 20°C and January about -12°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from mid April. Climate figures give an open season running mid April to early December. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Lac Kenny runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Lac Echo, 1.3 km out. Check the current arrangement for Lac Kenny.
