Lac de la Fourche Fishing near Mont-Tremblant, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac de la Fourche lies within the bounds of Laurentides, Quebec. The bank is 378 metres above sea level. With some 11 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. The bank runs about 1.8 km all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. You are 12 km from Mont-Tremblant. Beyond it, Saint-Donat-de-Montcalm at 19 km and Labelle at 20 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac de la Fourche

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Fish documented in Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Work Lac de la Fourche in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -14°C in January and 17°C in July. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about late November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. The season on Lac de la Fourche follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. You can park 250 m away and walk in from there. There are toilets 260 m off. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. For a change of water, Lac Racine is 0.8 km distant. Signs at Lac de la Fourche carry more weight than any list.
