• Where to Fish on Lac Laframboise

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. 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. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Fish Lac Laframboise to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 19°C and January at -13°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Laframboise.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. The closest car park is 1.1 km away, so pack accordingly. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Should this one be busy, Lac Purvis is 0.7 km off. The position on Lac Laframboise is worth confirming on the day.
