Lac Regas near Saint-Michel-des-Saints: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Lac Regas lies within the bounds of Lanaudière, Quebec. The setting is taiga on every side. With some 15 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. A shoreline of some 1.9 km keeps the choices simple. Start from Saint-Michel-des-Saints, 31 km down the road. Saint-Donat-de-Montcalm is 50 km away, with Manawan at 51 km. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Lac Regas

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Across Lanaudière, recorded fish include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, rock bass and brook trout. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Lac Regas the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 17°C, with January the cold end at about -15°C. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Time your trip to Lac Regas by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. The nearest alternative is Lac Tourvion, 1.1 km out. Confirm before you fish Lac Regas.
