• Where to Fish on Lac Loranger

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Species logged across Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass. The county list is broader than any single water. Fish Lac Loranger where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 19°C and January reads -13°C. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near late November. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Anyone fishing Lac Loranger regularly works to that calendar.
