Fishing at Lac Yeareck, Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Yeareck sits within Outaouais in Quebec. Beyond the shoreline you have lake country bush. At about 12 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. Shoreline comes to about 1.3 km, small enough to learn in a day. Head to Fort-Coulonge, 25 km away, for anything you forgot. Shawville is 38 km away, with Saint-Raphaël at 48 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Yeareck

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Open biodiversity records for Outaouais list pumpkinseed, yellow perch and smallmouth bass. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Fish Lac Yeareck to its features, not to its size.
