Lac Green Fishing Guide, Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  In Quebec, Lac Green belongs to Outaouais. The water sits 236 metres up. Around 17 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Around 2.2 km of margin, front to back. Maniwaki is the closest place, 22 km off. After that come Mont-Laurier at 23 km and Saint-Boniface at 26 km. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Lac Green

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Records held for Outaouais cover pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, rainbow smelt and Iowa darter. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. At Lac Green the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 18°C, with January the cold end at about -14°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about late November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Anyone fishing Lac Green regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lac Numero Sept, 0.4 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on Lac Green should be assumed from this page alone.
