Lac aux Ours Fishing near Mont-Tremblant, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac aux Ours belongs to Laurentides, Quebec. The land about it is rolling bush. Surface area runs to about 3 hectares — small enough to read in one session. On size it sits at the modest end of our Laurentides list. Some 7.7 km away sits Mont-Tremblant, the nearest settlement. La Conception lies 17 km off, Lac-Simon another 20 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac aux Ours

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Fish documented in Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Lac aux Ours the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 18°C and January near -14°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Ice-out usually falls in late April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. From about late April to around late November, expect open water on the long-run figures. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. The season on Lac aux Ours rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A phone call first saves an afternoon. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. For a change of water, Lac Equerre is 2.1 km distant. Rules at Lac aux Ours are worth checking on the day.
