• Where to Fish on Lac Tekakwitha

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Records held for Lanaudière cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, rock bass and brook trout. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. On Lac Tekakwitha a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -14°C and July at about 18°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. That is the shape of the year on Lac Tekakwitha.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lac Perreault sits 1 km off and takes the overflow. Check the position on Lac Tekakwitha before loading the car.
