Fishing at Lac Lauzon, Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Lauzon lies within the bounds of Laurentides, Quebec. Everything around it is rolling bush. It measures about 25 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. The bank runs about 2.8 km all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. Lac-Simon is the closest town at 0.7 km. La Conception follows at 2.9 km, then Mont-Tremblant at 13 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lauzon

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Fish documented in Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Lac Lauzon that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 18°C at the top of summer and -14°C at the bottom of winter. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly late November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Lac Lauzon fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. There is a pier recorded roughly 1.1 km away. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lac Xavier sits 1.5 km off and takes the overflow. What applies at Lac Lauzon may have changed since it was mapped.
