Petit lac Vert Fishing in Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  This water sits in Laurentides, Quebec. It sits in mixed forest. Surface area runs to about 4 hectares — small enough to read in one session. It is a small entry by Laurentides standards. Mont-Laurier sits 36 km from here and is the nearest stop. After that come Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel at 38 km and Saint-Raphaël at 42 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Petit lac Vert

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Reported across Laurentides: pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Fish Petit lac Vert where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -14°C to 18°C. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about late November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Plan any trip to Petit lac Vert around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lac des Iles sits 0.8 km off and takes the overflow. Treat access at Petit lac Vert as something to verify.
