Lac aux Vers Fishing Guide, Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  Outaouais, Quebec, is where Lac aux Vers sits. The country round it is pine and birch from end to end. This is sizeable water at about 1.91 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. Some 8.6 km of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. Few waters listed in Outaouais are bigger. The nearest town is Chalk River, 28 km away. Further out sit Deep River (28 km) and Petawawa (30 km). This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac aux Vers

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Outaouais records list pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, rainbow smelt and Iowa darter among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Read Lac aux Vers for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 18°C, the coldest about -14°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. On Lac aux Vers the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. If the gate is shut, Lac Egan at 1.8 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing here settles the position at Lac aux Vers for certain.
