Lac Lombric Fishing Guide, Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  Set in Outaouais, Lac Lombric is a Quebec water. The surface lies 406 metres up. You can fish the entire water from one spot if you pick it well. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Outaouais. Saint-Boniface lies 104 km from the water. After that come Deep River at 106 km and Maniwaki at 112 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lombric

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. 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. Lac Lombric gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -16°C to 17°C. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Ice-out usually falls in early May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about late November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Lombric.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. If the gate is shut, Lac du Chanvre at 0.9 km is the nearest alternative. Check the position on Lac Lombric before loading the car.
