Fishing Lac Cameron in Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Cameron stands in Laurentides, Quebec. The shore lies 35 km out. Small at around 4 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Supplies mean a trip to L'Orignal, 15 km off. Hawkesbury is 19 km away, with Saint-André-Avellin at 25 km. Other water nearby: 1.4 km away is Lac Double, 1.9 km out stands Lac Craig, 2.2 km away is Lac Carrier, 2.3 km out stands Lac Trout and 3.1 km away is Lac Sweet. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Lac Cameron

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Across Laurentides, recorded fish include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Lac Cameron fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 19°C at the top of summer and -12°C at the bottom of winter. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. On average, late April opens the water and early December closes it again. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Plan any trip to Lac Cameron around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lac Double sits 1.4 km off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Lac Cameron in what we hold.
