• Overview

  Lac Pany lies in Laurentides, in Quebec. The bank is 344 metres above sea level. About 4 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Most waters listed here for Laurentides are larger. The closest town, La Minerve, is 29 km distant. The big place round here is Orléans, 91 km distant. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Pany

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Laurentides, recorded fish include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. At Lac Pany the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lac Blouard, 1 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position on Lac Pany before loading the car.
