Lac Larivee Fishing in Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  Set in Outaouais, Quebec, this is Lac Larivee. It sits at 213 metres above sea level. It is low-lying compared with other Quebec water we list. You are 35 km from Val-des-Monts. Then Wakefield, 37 km, and Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel, 43 km. Close by you also have: Lac Saint-Denis after 0.4 km, Lac de la Grande Ligne out at 0.8 km, Lac Plante after 1 km, Lac Bertrand out at 1.1 km and Lac Laroque after 1.3 km. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Lac Larivee

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. County-wide records name pumpkinseed, yellow perch and smallmouth bass. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Fish Lac Larivee where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -13°C in January and 19°C in July. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. The open-water window runs from around late April to about early December in an average year. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. That shapes the year on Lac Larivee.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Lac Saint-Denis is 0.4 km distant. Confirm before you fish Lac Larivee.
