• Where to Fish on Lac Kent

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Reported across Laurentides: pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. On Lac Kent the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 18°C, while January sits near -14°C. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Time your trip to Lac Kent by conditions rather than dates.
