Lac Mey Fishing Guide, Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Mey is set in Outaouais, Quebec. The country here is pine and birch. Surface area runs to about 2 hectares — small enough to read in one session. It is a small entry by Outaouais standards. Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel sits 16 km from the bank. The big place round here is Orléans, 76 km distant. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Mey

  Our records hold no depth for this water. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Open biodiversity records for Outaouais list pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, rainbow smelt and Iowa darter. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Lac Mey a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 18°C and January near -14°C on the long-run figures. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. From about late April to around late November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. That is the shape of the year on Lac Mey.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Failing this one, try Lac Chapeau, 0.7 km away.
