Lac Perreault Fishing in Lanaudière, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Perreault lies within the bounds of Lanaudière, Quebec. It lies 458 metres above sea level. The water measures roughly 3 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Lanaudière. The closest town, Sainte-Marguerite-du-Lac-Masson, is 11 km distant. Then Val-David, 15 km, and Chertsey, 16 km. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Lac Perreault

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Fish documented in Lanaudière include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Treat Lac Perreault as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 18°C and January at -14°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. Averages place the thaw at late April and the freeze at late November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. At Lac Perreault the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Lac Geronimo is 0.6 km off. Rules at Lac Perreault are worth checking on the day.
