Lac Uzore, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Uzore is listed under Outaouais, Quebec. The bank is 366 metres above sea level. Roughly 13 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. The bank runs about 1.6 km all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. Saint-Boniface is the closest place, 104 km off. The nearest city of size is Gatineau, 220 km away. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Lac Uzore

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Records held for Outaouais cover pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and rainbow smelt. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. On Lac Uzore the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -17°C and July at about 17°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Look for the thaw near early May; the fishing lifts straight after. Climate averages put the opening at about early May and the closing near late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Lac Uzore runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Lac Limbourg, 3.2 km out. Check the position on Lac Uzore before loading the car.
