Lac Audax Fishing in Outaouais, Quebec

There is roughly 1.6 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. The nearest place of any size is Saint-Boniface, 97 km away. It is 205 km to Gatineau, the nearest city. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Audax

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Outaouais records list pumpkinseed, yellow perch and smallmouth bass among the fish reported. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Lac Audax the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -17°C and July at about 17°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. The lid tends to go about early May and return around late November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Lac Audax fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. You can camp about 1.2 km away, going by the mapping. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lac Airon sits 0.3 km off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish Lac Audax.
