Lac Fellah, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  This water sits in Outaouais, Quebec. It stands 254 metres above sea level. Small at around 3 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. On size it sits at the modest end of our Outaouais list. Saint-Boniface lies 40 km from the water. For a city, Gatineau is 156 km off. Near neighbours: Lac Onagre (0.2 km), Lac Jonque a shade over 0.9 km, Lac Asson (1.1 km), Lac Anderny a shade over 1.2 km and Lac Latte (1.3 km). No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Fellah

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Public occurrence data for Outaouais names pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and rainbow smelt. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. On Lac Fellah a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 18°C; by January the average is down near -16°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. That is the shape of the year on Lac Fellah.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lac Onagre, 0.2 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position on Lac Fellah before loading the car.
