Petit lac Ramuel Fishing Guide, Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  Look for Petit lac Ramuel in the Outaouais part of Quebec. The country here is rolling bush. About 4 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Our Outaouais list holds plenty of bigger water. The nearest place of any size is Val-des-Monts, 38 km away. Gatineau is the closest city, 57 km away. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Petit lac Ramuel

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Species logged across Outaouais include pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, rainbow smelt and Iowa darter. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. The shape of Petit lac Ramuel rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 19°C on average, January about -13°C. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. On average, late April opens the water and early December closes it again. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Petit lac Ramuel runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. For a change of water, Grand lac Benoit is 0.9 km distant. Check the position on Petit lac Ramuel before loading the car.
