Fishing Lac Dunning in Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Dunning lies within the bounds of Outaouais, Quebec. What surrounds it is rolling bush. This is a pocket water of some 2 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Our Outaouais list holds plenty of bigger water. For a base, Wakefield sits 2.3 km out. Val-des-Monts is 13 km and Cantley 14 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Dunning

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Survey and observation records for Outaouais include pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, rainbow smelt and Iowa darter. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Take Lac Dunning a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 19°C, the coldest about -13°C. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Look for the thaw near late April; the fishing lifts straight after. From about late April to around early December, expect open water on the long-run figures. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. At Lac Dunning the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Lac Rond sits 0.5 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Dunning for certain.
