Fishing Lac Remora in Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  Outaouais, Quebec, is where Lac Remora sits. It lies 395 metres above sea level. Roughly 13 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Bank access stretches around 1.8 km in total. Saint-Boniface is the closest place, 103 km off. The nearest city of size is Gatineau, 218 km away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Remora

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Records held for Outaouais cover pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, rainbow smelt and Iowa darter. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Treat Lac Remora as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 17°C at the top of summer and -17°C at the bottom of winter. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early May. In an average year the thaw lands around early May and the freeze near mid November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. On Lac Remora that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. For a change of water, Lac Termite is 0.8 km distant. Confirm access to Lac Remora locally before you travel.
