• Where to Fish on Lac Limoges

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Records held for Laurentides cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Lac Limoges the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 18°C and January near -15°C on the long-run figures. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Climate figures give an open season running late April to late November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Lac Limoges runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. A picnic site 1.1 km off makes this workable with family in tow. Public toilets are recorded roughly 1.1 km off. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. For a change of water, Lac des Ecorces is 1.9 km distant. Confirm before you fish Lac Limoges.
