• Where to Fish on Lac Ormonde

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Records held for Mauricie cover northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Lac Ormonde repays a walk before the first cast.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. For a change of water, Lac Katheline is 1.7 km distant. Nothing on Lac Ormonde should be assumed from this page alone.
