Lac Pas de Poisson, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Set in Laurentides, Lac Pas de Poisson is a Quebec water. Lake country bush runs right down to the water. About 8 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Sainte-Marguerite-du-Lac-Masson sits 4.8 km from the bank. After that come Val-Morin at 5 km and Sainte-Adèle at 6.8 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Pas de Poisson

  Depth figures are not published for this one. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Public occurrence data for Laurentides names pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Treat Lac Pas de Poisson as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 18°C, while January sits near -14°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. That shapes the year on Lac Pas de Poisson.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. You will be walking about 1.2 km from the nearest car park. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Should this one be busy, Lac Tondohar is 0.8 km off. Where Lac Pas de Poisson is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
