Fishing at Lac Vry, Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Vry stands in Laurentides, Quebec. This is lake country bush ground. Surface area runs to about 2 hectares — small enough to read in one session. Most waters listed here for Laurentides are larger. Some 19 km away sits La Minerve, the nearest settlement. After that come Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel at 22 km and Rivière-Rouge at 33 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Lac Vry

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Reported across Laurentides: pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Lac Vry that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -14°C and July at about 18°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about late November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. At Lac Vry the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Lac Bourne is 0.8 km off. For Lac Vry in particular, ask before you travel.
