Overcast skies today, with a soft SW wind with the barometer flat. Fish at Lac Kelly should hold close to windblown banks where food collects. Numbers are low everywhere; the night is the pick of them. Scale down and fish slowly. Fish follow the bait in autumn, so find one to find the other.

Lac Kelly lies in in Quebec. It lies 366 metres above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 2 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Our Quebec list holds plenty of bigger water. Deep River sits 48 km from the bank. Beyond it, Mattawa at 50 km and Chalk River at 56 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.
Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Lac Kelly repays a walk before the first cast. Overhanging branches shade fish that would otherwise sit deeper.
The year swings from about -14°C in January to roughly 18°C in July. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. On Lac Kelly that shapes the whole year.
Our records carry no access rule either way. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. If the gate is shut, Lac du Frelon at 1 km is the nearest alternative. For Lac Kelly in particular, ask before you travel.
