Lac Sonois, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Look for Lac Sonois in Lanaudière, Quebec. The ground around here is lake country bush. About 4 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. The town to know is Saint-Michel-des-Saints, 42 km out. It is 82 km to Trois-Rivières, the nearest city. Other water within reach: Lac du Brasier 0.5 km away, Lac de la Poche at 0.6 km, Lac de la Salamandre 0.9 km away, Lac a Paner at 1.2 km and Lac Leonard 1.3 km away. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Lac Sonois

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Reported across Lanaudière: pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and rock bass. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. The shape of Lac Sonois decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 17°C in July and bottom out at -15°C in January. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. The lid tends to go about late April and return around late November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. It holds true on Lac Sonois more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Lac du Brasier at 0.5 km is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Lac Sonois in what we hold.
