Lac Memphremagog Fishing in Estrie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Memphremagog is an Estrie water, Quebec side. The country here is mixed forest. It lies lower than most water we list in Quebec. The nearest place of any size is Magog, 17 km away. Ayer's Cliff is 18 km away, with Stanstead at 20 km. Nearby alternatives: Etang George at 4.4 km, Etang Sugar Loaf Pond out at 5.4 km, Etang Fisher at 6.9 km, Etang Johnson out at 7.1 km and Lac Gilbert at 8.7 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Memphremagog

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Estrie include rainbow trout, white sucker and pumpkinseed. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Lac Memphremagog gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 19°C; the cold one sits at -10°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about mid April. Expect the water usable from around mid April until roughly early December. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Lac Memphremagog fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Public data records a boat ramp 1.1 km out. Recorded parking is 1.2 km off, far enough to travel light. Public data records a pier about 1.1 km out. Toilets are 1.3 km away, which matters on a long session. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Etang George at 4.4 km is the sensible second choice. The position on Lac Memphremagog is worth confirming on the day.
