Fishing Lac Dupuis in Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  The Outaouais end of Quebec holds Lac Dupuis. Elevation runs to 228 metres. Small at around 4 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. On size it sits at the modest end of our Outaouais list. 13 km away sits Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel, the nearest town. Orléans sits 78 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Dupuis

  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. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Fish documented in Outaouais include pumpkinseed, yellow perch and smallmouth bass. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Fish Lac Dupuis to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 18°C and January at -14°C. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. Climate figures give an open season running late April to late November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Plan around that when you fish Lac Dupuis.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lac Maurice, 0.6 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Lac Dupuis.
