Lac Rond Fishing near Saint-Raphaël, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Rond is an Outaouais water, Quebec side. The bank is 271 metres above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 9 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

Look for the thaw near late April; the fishing lifts straight after. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Lac Rond runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac des Logs at 1.1 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Lac Rond should be assumed from this page alone.
