Petit lac Nominingue near Rivière-Rouge: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Within Laurentides, Quebec, you have Petit lac Nominingue. The water sits 245 metres up. About 6.64 sq km, so local knowledge or a boat saves a lot of walking.

It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Petit lac Nominingue

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Laurentides records list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch among the fish reported. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Treat Petit lac Nominingue as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -14°C to 18°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Look for the thaw near late April; the fishing lifts straight after. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly late November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. On Petit lac Nominingue the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. For a change of water, Le Violon is 2.4 km distant. Check the position on Petit lac Nominingue before loading the car.
