Lac Rond Fishing near Lac-Connelly, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Rond lies within the bounds of Lanaudière, Quebec. Country round the bank runs to mixed forest. About 9 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. The nearest place of any size is Lac-Connelly, 9.8 km away. Then Saint-Hippolyte, 10 km, and Chertsey, 11 km. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Lac Rond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. County-wide records name pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At Lac Rond the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -13°C in January and 19°C in July. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Averages place the thaw at late April and the freeze at early December. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. It holds true on Lac Rond more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lac Cristal sits 0.8 km off and takes the overflow. The position on Lac Rond is worth confirming on the day.
