Lac Wop Fishing Guide, Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Wop falls in Laurentides, part of Quebec. The bank gives way to mixed forest. At roughly 8 hectares, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. Rivière-Rouge at 27 km is the nearest place to stop. Further out sit Labelle (29 km) and Saint-Donat-de-Montcalm (32 km). Close by you have: Lac Hugo (1.5 km), Lac Descoteaux the better part of 1.6 km, Lac Buri (1.7 km), Lac Ariel the better part of 1.9 km and Lac Houdet (2.1 km). It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Wop

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish documented in Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Read Lac Wop for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -15°C in January up to 17°C in July. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. The lid tends to go about late April and return around late November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Time your trip to Lac Wop by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Part of this sits inside or beside Parc de récréation du Mont-Tremblant, so read the notices. 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. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Lac Hugo, 1.5 km away. Signs at Lac Wop carry more weight than any list.
