Lac Mudpout Fishing Guide, Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  This water sits in Outaouais, Quebec. Height above sea level is 181 metres. About 3 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight.

Not far off: Lac la Peche at about 0.9 km, Lac Ben (2.9 km), Lac Leblanc at about 3.3 km, Lac Fairburn (4 km) and Lac Campbell at about 4 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Mudpout

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Species logged across Outaouais include pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, rainbow smelt and Iowa darter. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. The shape of Lac Mudpout rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -12°C to 19°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about early December. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. On Lac Mudpout that shapes the whole year.
