  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Public occurrence data for Outaouais names pumpkinseed, yellow perch and smallmouth bass. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific.
