Lac Louise near Lac-Mégantic: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Look for Lac Louise in Franklin County, Maine. The ground around here is rolling bush. Small at around 7 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Our Franklin County list holds plenty of bigger water. Supplies mean a trip to Lac-Mégantic, 11 miles off. For a city, Sherbrooke is 55 miles off. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Lac Louise

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Survey and observation records for Franklin County include Atlantic salmon, brown trout, rainbow trout and brook trout. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Work Lac Louise in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 64°F for July and 10°F for January. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about late November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Lac Louise runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Failing this one, try Crosby Pond, 3 miles away. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Louise for certain.
