Premier lac Perdu, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  This water sits in Laurentides, Quebec. The surroundings are rolling bush. This is a pocket water of some 7 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. For a base, Mont-Laurier sits 19 km out. It is 130 km to Gatineau, the nearest city. Also worth knowing: Lac Rene a touch under 2.5 km, Lac Ceci sits 4.2 km out, Lac a Foin a touch under 4.3 km, Petit lac des Iles sits 4.4 km out and Lac Kipower a touch under 4.8 km. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Premier lac Perdu

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Open biodiversity records for Laurentides list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Premier lac Perdu repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 18°C and January about -15°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly late November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Expect Premier lac Perdu to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lac Rene, 2.5 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Rules at Premier lac Perdu are worth checking on the day.
