• Where to Fish on Petit lac Vert

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Outaouais records list pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and rainbow smelt among the fish reported. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Treat Petit lac Vert as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -14°C and July at about 18°C, the water has a wide range to work through. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. From about late April to around late November, expect open water on the long-run figures. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. It holds true on Petit lac Vert more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. For a change of water, Lac Tallulah is 0.8 km distant. Check the current arrangement for Petit lac Vert.
