Lac Setace Fishing in Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  The Laurentides end of Quebec holds Lac Setace. Land around it is mixed forest. Supplies mean a trip to La Minerve, 19 km off. Orléans sits 99 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. Others worth noting: Lac Glanon out at 0.7 km, Lac Lemire at about 1 km, Lac de l'Arsin out at 1.1 km, Lac Mouttet at about 1.5 km and Lac Luzy out at 1.7 km. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Lac Setace

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Reported across Laurentides: pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. At Lac Setace the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 18°C and January reads -14°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near late November in autumn. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Plan around that when you fish Lac Setace.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. If the gate is shut, Lac Glanon at 0.7 km is the nearest alternative. Check the position at Lac Setace before loading the car.
