Lac Sherritt Fishing Guide, Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Look for Lac Sherritt in the Laurentides part of Quebec. Tidal water begins 27 km from here. Surface area runs to about 8 hectares — small enough to read in one session. Saint-Sauveur lies 12 km from the water. The nearest city of size is Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne, 35 km away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Sherritt

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Lac Sherritt the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 19°C, with January the cold end at about -12°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. The lid tends to go about late April and return around early December. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. On Lac Sherritt that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Lac Barron at 0.5 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Sherritt for certain.
