Lac Gravelle in Outaouais: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Lac Gravelle is listed under Outaouais, Quebec. This is rolling bush country. This is a pocket water of some 3 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Our Outaouais list holds plenty of bigger water. 21 km away sits Deep River, the nearest town. After that come Chalk River at 30 km and Petawawa at 45 km. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Lac Gravelle

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Outaouais records list pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and rainbow smelt among the fish reported. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. The near bank of Lac Gravelle is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 18°C; the cold one sits at -14°C. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. The open-water window runs from around late April to about late November in an average year. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Time your trip to Lac Gravelle by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. If the gate is shut, Lac Pelletier at 1.6 km is the nearest alternative. Rules at Lac Gravelle are worth checking on the day.
