Lac Kingsberry Fishing in Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  Look for Lac Kingsberry in Outaouais, Quebec. The land about it is lake country bush. The town to know is Wakefield, 29 km out. Constance Bay is 31 km and Shawville 31 km. Water in the same corner: Lac Legros within 0.3 km, Lac a Gravel the better part of 0.9 km, Lac Teeples within 1.8 km, Lac Sinclair the better part of 2 km and Lac a Proulx within 2.1 km. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Kingsberry

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Across Outaouais, recorded fish include pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, rainbow smelt and Iowa darter. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Lac Kingsberry repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -13°C in January and 19°C in July. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Ice-out usually falls in late April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. On average, late April opens the water and early December closes it again. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. The season on Lac Kingsberry rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try Lac Legros, 0.3 km away. Rules at Lac Kingsberry are worth checking on the day.
