Lac Chasseneuil, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Chasseneuil belongs to Outaouais, Quebec. The setting is mixed forest on every side. This is a pocket water of some 2 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Outaouais. Nearest town is Saint-Boniface, 35 km off. Maniwaki is 48 km and Ferme-Neuve 54 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Chasseneuil

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Across Outaouais, recorded fish include pumpkinseed, yellow perch and smallmouth bass. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Read Lac Chasseneuil before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 18°C in July and bottoms out near -15°C in January. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April. From about late April to around late November, expect open water on the long-run figures. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Time your trip to Lac Chasseneuil by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lac Dafoe, 0.6 km away, makes the obvious fallback.
