Lac Lamolliere in Laurentides: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Laurentides in Quebec is where Lac Lamolliere sits. The surface lies 346 metres up. At about 10 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. A shoreline of some 1.9 km keeps the choices simple. La Minerve lies 24 km from the water. Rivière-Rouge is 25 km and Mont-Laurier 30 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lamolliere

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Laurentides records list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout among the fish reported. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Anyone new to Lac Lamolliere should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 18°C and January near -15°C. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near late November: that is the shape of an average year. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Lamolliere.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. If the gate is shut, Lac du Chemin at 0.4 km is the nearest alternative.
