• Where to Fish on Lac Laberge

Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Reported across Lanaudière: pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and rock bass. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Lac Laberge gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -14°C in January to roughly 18°C in July. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. After late April the shallows warm and the fish move up. The lid tends to go about late April and return around late November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Lac Laberge runs to that rhythm year in and year out.
