Low, flat cloud sitting over the water, with a light chop building from the SW and steady pressure. The productive water at Deuxieme lac Tap will be around the margins and the shelf beyond them. Little to get excited about, though the night holds a sliver of promise. Lower the pace and stay patient.

Quebec, is where Deuxieme lac Tap sits. Everything around it is pine and birch. Start from Deep River, 34 km down the road. Gatineau is the closest city, 188 km away. Close neighbours run: Lac Link after 0.6 km, Lac Tap some 1.2 km off, Lac Long after 1.5 km, Lac Beyrich some 1.8 km off and Petit lac Trout after 1.9 km. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.
Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Deuxieme lac Tap repays a walk before the first cast. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind.
Expect July near 18°C and January near -14°C on the long-run figures. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near late November in autumn. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Plan around that when you fish Deuxieme lac Tap.
Access is not recorded for this water. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, Lac Link at 0.6 km is the nearest alternative. The position on Deuxieme lac Tap is worth confirming on the day.
