Lac Videlet Fishing in Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  Set in Outaouais, Lac Videlet is a Quebec water. The land about it is rolling bush. The water measures roughly 5 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. It lies lower than most water we list in Quebec. The closest town, Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel, is 10 km distant. After that come La Minerve at 21 km and Lac-Simon at 29 km. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac Videlet

  Our records hold no depth for this water. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Fish documented in Outaouais include pumpkinseed, yellow perch and smallmouth bass. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Lac Videlet responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 19°C, with January the cold end at about -14°C. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. The open-water window runs from around late April to about late November in an average year. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Lac Videlet runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. The nearest alternative is Lac Gagnon, 1.5 km out. Confirm access to Lac Videlet locally before you travel.
