A clear night sky over the water, with just enough SW wind to ripple the surface with the barometer flat. Expect most activity at Lac Stubbs around the calm side of the wind. A tough forecast; the night offers the only real chance. One good spot fished well beats five fished quickly. Falling temperatures are switching fish back on.

You will find Lac Stubbs in Quebec. Land around it is mixed forest. It measures about 39 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. With 5.1 km or so of shoreline, boat anglers cover ground the bank cannot. The closest town, Deep River, is 48 km distant. Mattawa lies 49 km off, Chalk River another 56 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.
Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Read Lac Stubbs before you fish it and the day goes better. A quiet corner out of the wind can hold everything.
In an average year July sits at 18°C and January at -14°C. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. Climate figures give an open season running late April to late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. It holds true on Lac Stubbs more years than not.
Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Failing this one, try Lac de l'Ile, 1.2 km away. Signs at Lac Stubbs carry more weight than any list.
