The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Lac Vert Nord

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Fish Lac Vert Nord to its features, not to its size. Fish tight to whatever breaks the bottom.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try Lac Vert, 3.7 km away.
