Lac de la Chimere Fishing Guide, Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac de la Chimere is one of the Laurentides listings for Quebec. Elevation runs to 395 metres. You are 82 km from Ferme-Neuve. After that come Mont-Laurier at 98 km and Manawan at 99 km.

The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac de la Chimere

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Laurentides records list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch among the fish reported. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. At Lac de la Chimere light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 17°C and January about -17°C. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That is the shape of the year on Lac de la Chimere.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Lac des Rates is 0.6 km off. Signs at Lac de la Chimere carry more weight than any list.
