Lac Moore, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Moore belongs to Laurentides, Quebec. Beyond the shoreline you have lake country bush. It runs to roughly 13 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. With about 1.9 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. For supplies, Mont-Tremblant is 3.2 km out. Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne sits 84 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Moore

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Reported across Laurentides: pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. The near bank of Lac Moore is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -14°C to 18°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. From about late April to around late November, expect open water on the long-run figures. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Lac Moore fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. The mapped parking is Paddock, 240 m away. There is a jetty 290 m off, worth knowing on a busy day. Somewhere to sit and eat is 450 m out. Facilities run to toilets 490 m from the water. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Failing this one, try Lac Beauvallon, 1.6 km away. Signs at Lac Moore carry more weight than any list.
