Lac des Provisions Fishing in Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  The Outaouais end of Quebec holds Lac des Provisions. The ground around here is rolling bush. It measures about 15 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing.

No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac des Provisions

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Species logged across Outaouais include pumpkinseed, yellow perch and smallmouth bass. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At Lac des Provisions light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 19°C and January near -13°C. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. The lid tends to go about late April and return around early December. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. It holds true on Lac des Provisions more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Failing this one, try Trois lacs Usher, 2 km away. Rules at Lac des Provisions are worth checking on the day.
