Lac Kenny Fishing Guide, Lanaudière, Quebec

• Overview

  Lanaudière, Quebec, is where Lac Kenny sits. It stands 437 metres above sea level. About 5 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. The nearest place of any size is Chertsey, 12 km away. Sainte-Marguerite-du-Lac-Masson is 15 km and Val-David 23 km. If this one is busy: Lac Doux out at 0.7 km, 0.9 km out stands Lac Delia, Lac Beauregard out at 0.9 km, 1.3 km out stands Lac Heroux and Lac Poudrier out at 1.6 km. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Lac Kenny

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Lanaudière cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. On Lac Kenny a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 18°C on average, January about -14°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April. The open-water window runs from around late April to about late November in an average year. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Kenny.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. 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. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. For a change of water, Lac Doux is 0.7 km distant. Where Lac Kenny is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
