Fishing Petit lac Gratton in Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  In Quebec, Petit lac Gratton belongs to Laurentides. It lies 316 metres above sea level. A splashy cast here empties the swim; a quiet one owns it. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Laurentides. Mont-Tremblant is the closest place, 9.2 km off. For a city, Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne is 75 km off. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Petit lac Gratton

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Species logged across Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. On Petit lac Gratton that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -14°C in January to roughly 18°C in July. Hard water is a season in its own right here. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. That is the shape of the year on Petit lac Gratton.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. The closest car park is 900 m away, so pack accordingly. Facilities include toilets around 790 m from here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lac Dupre at 0.5 km is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Petit lac Gratton as something to verify.
