Lac Levesque Fishing Guide, Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Set in Laurentides, Lac Levesque is a Quebec water. The land about it is lake country bush. At 3 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. On size it sits at the modest end of our Laurentides list. For supplies, Mont-Tremblant is 9.9 km out. La Conception is 17 km and Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts 20 km. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Levesque

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Laurentides records list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout among the fish reported. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Work Lac Levesque in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 18°C for July and -14°C for January. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. The lid tends to go about late April and return around late November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. That is the shape of the year on Lac Levesque.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. La Paysanne d'Antan holds the nearest mapped parking, 550 m out. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. For a change of water, Lac Lacasse is 1.1 km distant. What applies at Lac Levesque may have changed since it was mapped.
