Lac des Tilleuls, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac des Tilleuls is set in Montérégie, Quebec. The ground round it is mixed forest. You can fish the entire water from one spot if you pick it well. Our Montérégie list holds plenty of bigger water. Start from Saint-Pie, 7.2 km down the road. For a city, Longueuil is 51 km off. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Lac des Tilleuls

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. County-wide records name lake sturgeon, pumpkinseed and tench. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Lac des Tilleuls the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 20°C, with January the cold end at about -11°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough mid April. Average temperatures cross freezing around mid April in spring and again near early December in autumn. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. That shapes the year on Lac des Tilleuls.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Should this one be busy, Lac a Langevin is 2 km off. What applies at Lac des Tilleuls may have changed since it was mapped.
