Lac Ophiure Fishing in Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Ophiure is one of the Outaouais waters in Quebec. It stands 359 metres above sea level. Small at around 2 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is a small entry by Outaouais standards. Saint-Boniface is the closest town at 77 km. Ferme-Neuve is 82 km away, with Maniwaki at 90 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Ophiure

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Across Outaouais, recorded fish include pumpkinseed, yellow perch and smallmouth bass. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Fish Lac Ophiure to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 17°C and January near -17°C. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. On average, early May opens the water and late November closes it again. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Plan any trip to Lac Ophiure around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. 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. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lac des Rainettes at 1.1 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to Lac Ophiure locally before you travel.
