Lac Vert Fishing near Mont-Laurier, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Vert sits in Laurentides, out in Quebec. It sits at 213 metres above sea level. The water measures roughly 4 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. It lies lower than most water we list in Quebec. The closest town, Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel, is 36 km away. Then Mont-Laurier, 42 km, and Saint-Raphaël, 42 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Vert

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. County-wide records name pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Read Lac Vert before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 18°C and January near -14°C on the long-run figures. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near late November in autumn. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Plan any trip to Lac Vert around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Petit lac Louis sits 1.1 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Lac Vert should be assumed from this page alone.
