Lac de la Flamme Fishing Guide, Lanaudière, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac de la Flamme is set in Lanaudière, Quebec. Elevation runs to 424 metres. The water covers some 12 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The whole outline is near 2.2 km, and most of it is walkable. Manawan sits 19 km from the bank. Saint-Michel-des-Saints follows at 86 km, then Ferme-Neuve at 91 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac de la Flamme

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Species logged across Lanaudière include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, rock bass and brook trout. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Lac de la Flamme gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 17°C on average, January about -16°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Ice-out usually falls in early May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about mid November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac de la Flamme.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, Lac Leech is 1 km off. Treat Lac de la Flamme as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
