Lac Myrle Fishing Guide, Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  This water sits in Laurentides, Quebec. The bank is 459 metres above sea level. The water measures roughly 8 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. Manawan sits 48 km from here and is the nearest stop. Beyond it, Ferme-Neuve at 51 km and Rivière-Rouge at 61 km. Alternatives close at hand: Lac Lucille roughly 0.8 km, Lac Jake lies 0.9 km on, Lac Grain de Riz roughly 1.3 km, Lac du Cap lies 1.6 km on and Lac Eric roughly 1.7 km. Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Lac Myrle

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. 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. The shape of Lac Myrle decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -16°C in January up to 17°C in July. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May. In an average year the thaw lands around early May and the freeze near mid November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. On Lac Myrle the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. A pier 1.1 km from here gives a platform over deeper water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. The nearest alternative is Lac Lucille, 0.8 km out. Treat Lac Myrle as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
