Lac Poisson Fishing near Mont-Tremblant, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Poisson is one of the Laurentides listings for Quebec. It sits at 500 metres above sea level. It runs to roughly 50 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. A shoreline of some 3.2 km keeps the choices simple. It is among the larger waters listed here for Laurentides. You are 15 km from Mont-Tremblant. Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne sits 87 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Lac Poisson

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Open biodiversity records for Laurentides list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, brook trout and rock bass. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Treat Lac Poisson as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 17°C, the coldest about -14°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly late November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. At Lac Poisson the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Petit lac Poisson at 1 km is the sensible second choice. For Lac Poisson in particular, ask before you travel.
