Fishing Lac Landrieux in Outaouais, Quebec

Around 3.0 km of margin, front to back. It is among the larger waters listed here for Outaouais. 8.5 km away sits Saint-Raphaël, the nearest town. Gatineau is the closest city, 92 km away. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Landrieux

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. County-wide records name pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and rainbow smelt. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Lac Landrieux gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -14°C in January to roughly 19°C in July. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. After late April the shallows warm and the fish move up. The season between ice runs from about late April to late November. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. The season on Lac Landrieux follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Lac du Vieux Chantier at 1.7 km is the nearest alternative. Check the position at Lac Landrieux before loading the car.
