Lac Radis Fishing Guide, Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Radis falls in Outaouais, part of Quebec. The surface lies 365 metres up. At 2 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Most waters listed here for Outaouais are larger. Some 25 km away sits Ripon, the nearest settlement. Buckingham lies 27 km off, Val-des-Monts another 28 km. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac Radis

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Survey and observation records for Outaouais include pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and rainbow smelt. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. At Lac Radis the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 18°C and January near -13°C. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly early December. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. On Lac Radis the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, Lac de la Poulette is 0.8 km off. What applies at Lac Radis may have changed since it was mapped.
