• Where to Fish on Latour Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Public occurrence data for Timiskaming District names brook trout, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Treat Latour Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 18°C in July and bottoms out near -15°C in January. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about late November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Plan any trip to Latour Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Caswell Lake, 1.1 km away. Confirm before you fish Latour Lake.
