Lake · Duhamel

Lac de la Ferme (pêche blanche)

Two kilometres south of the village, and one of the few lakes around where you can ice fish for brook trout. Bring folding chairs; the log shelter handles the rest.

The lake is stocked every year by the municipality, the Centre touristique du Lac-Simon and ACPTA. The town suggests keeping five trout per licence at most. No gear? The Centre touristique du Lac-Simon runs a bookable package (24 hours ahead) with five pre-drilled holes, five tip-ups, worms and hot drinks.
