Lac Lucy Fishing in Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Lucy in Outaouais, Quebec. This is pine and birch country. With some 26 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. There is roughly 2.8 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Saint-Boniface is the closest place, 31 km off. Gatineau sits 137 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lucy

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Species logged across Outaouais include pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and rainbow smelt. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Treat Lac Lucy as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 18°C on average, January about -15°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. On average, late April opens the water and late November closes it again. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. It holds true on Lac Lucy more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lac Britt at 1.8 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Lucy for certain.
