• Where to Fish on Lac Rougemare

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Species logged across Outaouais include pumpkinseed, yellow perch and smallmouth bass. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. The shape of Lac Rougemare decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -16°C in January and 18°C in July. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Rougemare.

• Tackle & Baits
