• Where to Fish on Lac Lemert

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Lanaudière include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Treat Lac Lemert as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 17°C at the top of summer and -16°C at the bottom of winter. Winter runs most of the calendar, and everything worth doing happens in the gap. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. The lid tends to go about early May and return around mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. It holds true on Lac Lemert more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lac Escalier sits 1.8 km off and takes the overflow. Ask locally about Lac Lemert if anything is unclear.
