Lac Lita, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  You will find Lac Lita in Laurentides, Quebec. The surroundings are spruce and muskeg. Around 12 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. With about 1.9 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. Ferme-Neuve sits 87 km from here and is the nearest stop. Mont-Laurier is 101 km and Saint-Boniface 103 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lita

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Survey and observation records for Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Take Lac Lita a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 17°C at the top of summer and -17°C at the bottom of winter. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That is the shape of the year on Lac Lita.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lac des Jarrets-Noirs at 1.1 km is the sensible second choice. Ask locally about Lac Lita if anything is unclear.
