• Where to Fish on Lac Tor

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Records held for Laurentides cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Anyone new to Lac Tor should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -13°C to 19°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly late November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. That shapes the year on Lac Tor.
