Lac de la Trompette Fishing Guide, Quebec, Quebec

• Overview

  In Quebec, Lac de la Trompette falls inside Quebec. Height above sea level is 331 metres. With some 18 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. The whole outline is near 2.4 km, and most of it is walkable. Mattawa is the closest place, 28 km off. The nearest city of size is Greater Sudbury, 173 km away. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac de la Trompette

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. The shape of Lac de la Trompette rewards a slow walk along one bank. Mind your footing where the bank steepens.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 18°C at the top of summer and -14°C at the bottom of winter. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Ice clears near late April and comes back about late November in a typical year. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac de la Trompette.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Failing this one, try Lac Foley, 2.3 km away. For Lac de la Trompette in particular, ask before you travel.
