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

• Overview

  Lac Goulet lies in Laurentides, Quebec. The bank is 325 metres above sea level. A pocket of water where every cast reaches cover. On size it sits at the modest end of our Laurentides list. For supplies, Mont-Tremblant is 10 km out. It is 74 km to Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne, the nearest city. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Goulet

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Survey and observation records for Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. At Lac Goulet the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -14°C and July at about 18°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. Climate figures give an open season running late April to late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Time your trip to Lac Goulet by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Recorded parking is 1.2 km off, far enough to travel light. Toilets are 1.3 km away, which matters on a long session. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lac Rossignol sits 0.6 km off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Lac Goulet in what we hold.
