Lac Sellerin in Lanaudière: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Lac Sellerin is set in Lanaudière, Quebec. The land about it is rolling bush. This is a pocket water of some 8 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Nearest place of any size is Saint-Michel-des-Saints, 26 km away. The nearest city of size is Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne, 106 km away. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Sellerin

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Fish documented in Lanaudière include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, rock bass and brook trout. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Lac Sellerin that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 17°C and January near -15°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near late November in autumn. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Sellerin.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lac Vaga at 1.2 km is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Lac Sellerin as something to verify.
