• Where to Fish on Lac Pelletier

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Outaouais records list pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, rainbow smelt and Iowa darter among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Work Lac Pelletier in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 18°C and January near -14°C on the long-run figures. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. Ice clears near late April and comes back about late November in a typical year. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. That is the shape of the year on Lac Pelletier.
