Lac Quarte Fishing in Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Quarte in Outaouais, Quebec. Country round the bank runs to mixed forest. It runs to roughly 33 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. There is roughly 4.8 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Few waters listed in Outaouais are bigger. The closest town, Saint-Boniface, is 79 km distant. Maniwaki lies 89 km off, Saint-Raphaël another 99 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Quarte

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Species logged across Outaouais include pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and rainbow smelt. The county list is broader than any single water. At Lac Quarte the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 17°C; the cold one sits at -17°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. On average, early May opens the water and late November closes it again. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. The season on Lac Quarte follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lac Naix sits 0.5 km off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Lac Quarte in what we hold.
