Lac Pierrot Fishing in Lanaudière, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Pierrot is a Lanaudière water, in Quebec. The ground round it is spruce and muskeg. At 3 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Most waters listed here for Lanaudière are larger. The town to know is Saint-Michel-des-Saints, 34 km out. Manawan lies 37 km off, Saint-Donat-de-Montcalm another 65 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Pierrot

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Open biodiversity records for Lanaudière list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, rock bass and brook trout. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Fish Lac Pierrot where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 17°C and January near -15°C. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about mid November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. That shapes the year on Lac Pierrot.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. There is camping recorded roughly 1 km off. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lac du Paradis, 1 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat Lac Pierrot as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
