Lac des Femmes near Mont-Tremblant: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

Mont-Tremblant sits 14 km from the bank. It is 88 km to Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne, the nearest city.

The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac des Femmes

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Records held for Laurentides cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Read Lac des Femmes for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 17°C; by January the average is down near -14°C. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Look for the thaw near late April; the fishing lifts straight after. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about late November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. That is the shape of the year on Lac des Femmes.
