Lac Flynn Fishing in Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Flynn belongs to Outaouais, Quebec. It sits at 320 metres above sea level. Small at around 6 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. The town to know is Deep River, 42 km out. Chalk River follows at 50 km, then Petawawa at 62 km. Water in the same corner: Lac Chenier sits 0.8 km out, Lac Desrochers after 1.1 km, Lac Kensley sits 1.8 km out, Lac Marion after 2.2 km and Lac des Trois Loutres sits 2.4 km out. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Flynn

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Reported across Outaouais: pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and rainbow smelt. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. At Lac Flynn light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 18°C and January near -15°C on the long-run figures. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near late November in autumn. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Time your trip to Lac Flynn by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Lac Chenier is 0.8 km distant. For Lac Flynn in particular, ask before you travel.
