Lac Tallulah Fishing in Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Tallulah lies in Outaouais, in Quebec. Height above sea level is 301 metres. With some 22 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. The bank runs about 2.5 km all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. Some 6.4 km away sits Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel, the nearest settlement. The big place round here is Orléans, 74 km distant. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Tallulah

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. County-wide records name pumpkinseed, yellow perch and smallmouth bass. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Treat Lac Tallulah as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 18°C, while January sits near -14°C. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about late November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. On Lac Tallulah the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. For a change of water, Petit lac Vert is 0.8 km distant. Signs at Lac Tallulah carry more weight than any list.
