Lac Ceizur Fishing Guide, Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Ceizur lies in Laurentides, in Quebec. The surface lies 392 metres up. At some 1.79 sq km it is far too large to cover on foot in a day. Around 12 km of bank, which is a long day on foot. On our Laurentides list it sits near the top for size. Ferme-Neuve sits 85 km from here and is the nearest stop. Gatineau sits 219 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac Ceizur

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Fish Lac Ceizur where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 17°C; by January the average is down near -17°C. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. Climate averages put the opening at about early May and the closing near mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Anyone fishing Lac Ceizur regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. For a change of water, Lac de l'Abenaquis is 1.4 km distant. Rules at Lac Ceizur are worth checking on the day.
