Lac Scille, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  In Quebec, Lac Scille falls inside Outaouais. Country round the bank runs to boreal forest. Small at around 2 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Most waters listed here for Outaouais are larger. You are 98 km from Saint-Boniface. Gatineau sits 213 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Scille

  We hold no depth figure for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Outaouais records list pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and rainbow smelt among the fish reported. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. At Lac Scille the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 17°C at the top of summer and -17°C at the bottom of winter. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. Break-up sits around early May on average, with the water closing again about mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Lac Scille runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. 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. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. The nearest alternative is Lac Dilsen, 0.5 km out. Treat Lac Scille as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
