• Where to Fish on Lac Vert

  Depth figures are not published for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Public occurrence data for Laurentides names pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Anyone new to Lac Vert should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 18°C in July and bottom out at -14°C in January. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near late November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Plan around that when you fish Lac Vert.
