Lac Nicole Fishing in Lanaudière, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Nicole is a Lanaudière water, in Quebec. This is rolling bush ground. At roughly 3 hectares, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is a small entry by Lanaudière standards. The closest town, Saint-Félix-de-Valois, is 8 km away. The nearest city of size is Terrebonne, 52 km away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Nicole

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Across Lanaudière, recorded fish include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Read Lac Nicole before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 19°C and January near -13°C on the long-run figures. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near early December. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. That is the shape of the year on Lac Nicole.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lac Francine at 1.9 km is the sensible second choice. For Lac Nicole in particular, ask before you travel.
