• Where to Fish on Petit lac Landry

  Our records hold no depth for this water. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Open biodiversity records for Laurentides list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Petit lac Landry responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 19°C and January at -13°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. Averages place the thaw at late April and the freeze at late November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. On Petit lac Landry the same rules apply, with local timing.
