Lac Lunette Fishing in Lanaudière, Quebec

• Overview

  Look for Lac Lunette in the Lanaudière part of Quebec. The surface lies 198 metres up. About 2 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. On size it sits at the modest end of our Lanaudière list. Saint-Jean-de-Matha is the closest town at 6.9 km. Sainte-Béatrix follows at 11 km, then Saint-Gabriel at 14 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lunette

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. County-wide records name pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and rock bass. The county list is broader than any single water. On Lac Lunette the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -14°C and July at about 19°C, the water has a wide range to work through. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. The open-water window runs from around late April to about late November in an average year. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. On Lac Lunette the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Parking is close: a car park sits 350 m from the bank. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lac Rond sits 0.4 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Lunette for certain.
