Lac Lamoureux Fishing in Lanaudière, Quebec

• Overview

  Look for Lac Lamoureux in the Lanaudière part of Quebec. The land about it is rolling bush. It is pond-in-a-field scale, with the far bank a short lob away. On size it sits at the modest end of our Lanaudière list. For a base, Sainte-Julienne sits 4.4 km out. It is 28 km to Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne, the nearest city. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lamoureux

  Our records hold no depth for this water. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish documented in Lanaudière include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and rock bass. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. The near bank of Lac Lamoureux is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 19°C and January at -12°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near early December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. On Lac Lamoureux the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Lac Maurice at 0.9 km is the nearest alternative. Treat Lac Lamoureux as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
