Lac des Ours Fishing in Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac des Ours in Laurentides, Quebec. The land about it is rolling bush. At 9 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Some 13 km away sits La Conception, the nearest settlement. The nearest city of size is Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne, 76 km away. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac des Ours

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Survey and observation records for Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. At Lac des Ours light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 19°C in July and bottoms out near -14°C in January. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. On average, late April opens the water and late November closes it again. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Plan around that when you fish Lac des Ours.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lac Blanc at 0.6 km is the sensible second choice. The position on Lac des Ours is worth confirming on the day.
