Lac Naumeny, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Naumeny falls in Laurentides, part of Quebec. Country round the bank runs to rolling bush. This is a pocket water of some 5 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Rivière-Rouge lies 48 km from the water. After that come Manawan at 48 km and Saint-Michel-des-Saints at 57 km. Within a short run: Petit lac Danay about 1.3 km, Lac des Eclisses at 1.4 km, Lac Danay about 1.7 km, Lac Faller at 3.4 km and Lac Picoron about 3.5 km. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Lac Naumeny

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Species logged across Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass. The county list is broader than any single water. Lac Naumeny repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 17°C and January reads -15°C. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. On average, late April opens the water and mid November closes it again. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. That shapes the year on Lac Naumeny.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Petit lac Danay sits 1.3 km off and takes the overflow. For Lac Naumeny, the notice at the access point is the final word.
