Lake Trout ice fishing in Quebec

7 Quebec lakes on this site have lake trout on record, largest first. A lake without a record may still hold them: records come from provincial open data and our own research, and are not complete. Some records are stocking records, which show what a province has stocked, not everything in the lake.

General lake trout tips

Lake trout stay in cold, deep water; jig tubes, spoons or dead bait on a quick-strike rig in the deeper basins.

This is general guidance for the species, written by Ice Fish Canada, not a report from any one lake. Limits, size rules and closures vary by lake, so read the current Quebec regulations before you fish. Measure the ice yourself: see the ice thickness guidance.
