Lac de l'Aqueduc Fishing in Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac de l'Aqueduc is one of the Outaouais listings for Quebec. Land around it is pine and birch. The water measures roughly 5 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. Start from Val-des-Monts, 29 km down the road. The nearest city of size is Gatineau, 48 km away. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Lac de l'Aqueduc

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Outaouais include pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and rainbow smelt. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. At Lac de l'Aqueduc the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 19°C, with January the cold end at about -13°C. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about early December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. The season on Lac de l'Aqueduc rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Boat Launch provides a boat ramp about 1.4 km away. The nearest car park we can see is 1.3 km out, so expect a walk with your gear. There are picnic tables recorded roughly 1.3 km off. A toilet block sits 1.3 km away. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Lac Vert is 1.4 km distant. Confirm before you fish Lac de l'Aqueduc.
