Lac Lily near Saint-Michel-des-Saints: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Lac Lily lies in Lanaudière, in Quebec. It lies 511 metres above sea level. About 4 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Quebec listings. You are 18 km from Saint-Michel-des-Saints. Saint-Donat-de-Montcalm is 28 km away, with Sainte-Béatrix at 52 km. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lily

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. 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. Survey and observation records for Lanaudière include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, rock bass and brook trout. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Lac Lily gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 17°C, the coldest about -15°C. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Ice-out usually falls in late April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Expect Lac Lily to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Lac Hay, 1.1 km away. Treat access at Lac Lily as something to verify.
