Lac Oborne Fishing Guide, Outaouais, Quebec

  You will find Lac Oborne in Outaouais, Quebec. The ground round it is rolling bush. It covers about 4 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Outaouais. Supplies mean a trip to Saint-Boniface, 96 km off. Maniwaki is 108 km away, with Ferme-Neuve at 111 km. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Lac Oborne

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Records held for Outaouais cover pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and rainbow smelt. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Lac Oborne the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 17°C, with January the cold end at about -17°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near late November in autumn. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Plan any trip to Lac Oborne around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Should this one be busy, Lac Anglard is 0.9 km off. Rules at Lac Oborne are worth checking on the day.
