Lac Bory near Deep River: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Lac Bory belongs to Outaouais, Quebec. Beyond the shoreline you have rolling bush. It covers about 5 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Nearest place of any size is Deep River, 22 km away. Then Chalk River, 32 km, and Petawawa, 50 km. Near neighbours include: Lac Braun (0.9 km), Lac Ledebour near enough 1.1 km, Lac Bonpland (1.4 km), Lac Boott near enough 1.9 km and Lac Bosc (2.1 km). The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Bory

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Fish documented in Outaouais include pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and rainbow smelt. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Lac Bory gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 18°C at the top of summer and -14°C at the bottom of winter. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about late November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lac Bory.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lac Braun, 0.9 km away, makes the obvious fallback. The position on Lac Bory is worth confirming on the day.
