This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Vert

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Public occurrence data for Lanaudière names pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Lac Vert repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 19°C and January at -14°C. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. Climate figures give an open season running late April to late November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Lac Vert runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. The nearest alternative is Lac Vachon, 0.3 km out. The position on Lac Vert is worth confirming on the day.
