• Where to Fish on Lac Vert

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Survey and observation records for Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Lac Vert responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 18°C on average, January about -13°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. After late April the shallows warm and the fish move up. Averages place the thaw at late April and the freeze at late November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. The season on Lac Vert follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Expect a 840 m walk in from where the car goes. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lac Peter sits 0.6 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Lac Vert should be assumed from this page alone.
