Lac Sans Decharge Fishing Guide, Capitale-Nationale, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Sans Decharge sits in Capitale-Nationale, out in Quebec. Elevation runs to 399 metres. For supplies, Laurentides is 12 km out. The big place round here is Sainte-Foy, 75 km distant. Also on the doorstep: Lac Goujon at 0.6 km, Lac Bourgeault at about 1.3 km, Lac Stuart at 1.3 km, Lac des Aulnes at about 1.6 km and Lac du Pont de Bois at 1.9 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Sans Decharge

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Reported across Capitale-Nationale: lake sturgeon, Atlantic sturgeon, longnose sucker and sauger. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Work Lac Sans Decharge in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 17°C, while January sits near -15°C. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. Open water usually runs from late April until about late November. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Plan any trip to Lac Sans Decharge around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. A parking area is marked roughly 260 m out. Anglers are recorded at Omble de fontaine, roughly 80 m off. For walleye, a jig and minnow near the bottom is the standard; evenings beat middays. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lac Goujon sits 0.6 km off and takes the overflow. Signs at Lac Sans Decharge carry more weight than any list.
