Lac de la Mousse Fishing in Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  The Laurentides end of Quebec holds Lac de la Mousse. The ground round it is mixed forest. It covers about 4 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. For supplies, Lac-Simon is 9.2 km out. La Conception is 12 km away, with La Minerve at 16 km. Also within reach: Lac la Boite after 0.6 km, Lac Clement out at 0.9 km, Lac Cameron after 1.9 km, Lac Monroe out at 2.6 km and Lac Verschelden after 3.4 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac de la Mousse

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Across Laurentides, recorded fish include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Fish Lac de la Mousse where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 18°C for July and -14°C for January. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly late November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. The season on Lac de la Mousse follows the weather closely.
