• Where to Fish on Lac Nono

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Public occurrence data for Laurentides names pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. At Lac Nono the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly late November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. That is the shape of the year on Lac Nono.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. A boat ramp sits 520 m away, so trailered boats can get on. A toilet block sits 490 m away. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Lac du Cap, 0.7 km away. For Lac Nono, the notice at the access point is the final word.
