• Where to Fish on Lac Tourvion

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Records held for Lanaudière cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, rock bass and brook trout. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Take Lac Tourvion a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 17°C, with January the cold end at about -15°C. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early May. Climate figures give an open season running early May to mid November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Lac Tourvion runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Should this one be busy, Petit lac Tourvion is 0.3 km off. Check the position on Lac Tourvion before loading the car.
