Lac Como Fishing in Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Como is set in Laurentides, Quebec. The land about it is northern bush. At 9 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Rivière-Rouge sits 44 km from here and is the nearest stop. For a city, Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne is 149 km off. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Como

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Public occurrence data for Laurentides names pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. At Lac Como the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 17°C and January near -16°C. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. Ice-out usually falls in early May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about mid November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. At Lac Como the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lac Moineau at 0.7 km is the sensible second choice. Signs at Lac Como carry more weight than any list.
