Lac Ram in Laurentides: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  You will find Lac Ram in Laurentides, Quebec. Country round the bank runs to northern bush. About 3 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Most waters listed here for Laurentides are larger. 79 km away sits Ferme-Neuve, the nearest town. The big place round here is Gatineau, 216 km distant. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Ram

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Open biodiversity records for Laurentides list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. On Lac Ram the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 17°C, while January sits near -17°C. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early May until roughly mid November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. At Lac Ram the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. For a change of water, Lac Perdu is 2 km distant. The position on Lac Ram is worth confirming on the day.
