  This water sits in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec. It lies 272 metres above sea level. Around 11.30 sq km of open water: conditions change from one end to the other.

The big place round here is Saguenay, 1384 km distant. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Lac Latourette

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Nord-du-Québec records list Arctic charr, brook trout and lake trout among the fish reported. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Work Lac Latourette in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 9°C in July and bottoms out near -24°C in January. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. Ice-out usually falls in late June, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Average temperatures cross freezing around late June in spring and again near mid October in autumn. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. That shapes the year on Lac Latourette.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. The nearest alternative is Lac Lussier, 19 km out. Nothing on Lac Latourette should be assumed from this page alone.
