  Our records hold no depth for this water. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Records held for Outaouais cover pumpkinseed, yellow perch and smallmouth bass. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Read Lac Ogimakwe for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -14°C in January and 18°C in July. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near late November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. The season on Lac Ogimakwe follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lac Kawashegamik, 1.3 km away, makes the obvious fallback.
