Lac de la Tour Fishing near Ferme-Neuve, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac de la Tour stands in Laurentides, Quebec. Everything around it is lake country bush. At 2 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is a small entry by Laurentides standards. Nearest place of any size is Ferme-Neuve, 17 km away. Mont-Laurier follows at 34 km, then Rivière-Rouge at 58 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac de la Tour

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Records held for Laurentides cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Lac de la Tour a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 18°C for July and -15°C for January. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Plan any trip to Lac de la Tour around it.

• Tackle & Baits

Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Lac Cameron at 2.7 km is the sensible second choice. The position on Lac de la Tour is worth confirming on the day.
