Fishing at Lac Rond, Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Rond in Laurentides, Quebec. The bank is 413 metres above sea level. At 2 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. On size it sits at the modest end of our Laurentides list. For supplies, Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts is 9.5 km out. For a city, Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne is 63 km off. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Rond

  Depth figures are not published for this one. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. County-wide records name pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. The shape of Lac Rond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -14°C to 18°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. Averages place the thaw at late April and the freeze at late November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Plan around that when you fish Lac Rond.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. For a change of water, Lac de la Brume is 0.4 km distant. Rules at Lac Rond are worth checking on the day.
