More in the same country: Lac Frasier within 1.4 km, Lac Rouge some 1.8 km off, Lac Stanyar within 2 km, Lac Ruby some 2.1 km off and Lac Oat within 2.3 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Petit lac Frasier

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Records held for Laurentides cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. The shape of Petit lac Frasier decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 17°C; by January the average is down near -15°C. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. 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. That is the shape of the year on Petit lac Frasier.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Should this one be busy, Lac Frasier is 1.4 km off. Treat access at Petit lac Frasier as something to verify.
