Maniwaki fishing

Post by **woodhouse34** » Tue Apr 21, 2009 9:24 am

Hey everyone,
I just moved to Maniwaki from Ottawa and can't speak alot of french so its hard to get some local knowledge up here. Anyways I was just curious if anyone knew a few small lakes or rivers where I could do some fishing from a float tube or small boat.

Thanks in advance

I'm sorta in the same boat. I do frequent Maniwaki and have noticed signs pointing to many lakes off of the 105. I plan on spending most of my open water season exploring these lakes. I too have found that gathering intel on these lake to be futile......even when grilling my GF relatives

Good luck with your search....I think your about to find some real gems in those hills

Hey woodhouse. You will notice a lot of guys from the site frequent the area for it's great fishing. I use to have a cottage in BlueSea three years ago and got to know the area very well. Send me a PM regarding what species your looking to target and I can point you to a few lakes to try your luck on.

I agree. PM members about the spots they've discussed.

The Outaouais is a great region, mostly because the spots aren't openly discussed. I'm all for sharing information, but with the amount of readers and lurkers on this site, posting directions and great specifics will soon result in your new spot being fished out/clean.

Do post pictures of your catch(es).
Don't post GPS coordinates or maps of your spots.

PM me if you want. The region you're asking about is part of my playground.

Cheers

South of Maniwaki is the town of Gracefield. In the area are lakes like Lac Heney, 31 Mile, Pemich and Ste Marie. Closer to you is blue Sea. all are great lakes and easy accessible by small boat.
Bass, pike, lakers abound in them.

Welcome Woodhouse,

This is an awesome area for fishing. Take the advice of the members offering PMs.
Sometime just exploring on your own can be just as fun....but it's always nice to know a few consistently producing areas to make it all worth while.

My uncle has a cottage up that way, so I got up often. Lots of good lakes; however, it will all depend on what you want to target.

Enjoy and don't be afraid to ask questions....someone will provide help.

Cheers
Scott

Hi Guys

Mer Blue is protected for the most part as it is has an outfitter on it. I was told you had to pay him to launch your boat. I also heard it is really good for lakers.

You're talking about the Foret de l'Aigle.... Not sure about its accessibility, but you're right, its loaded with lakes.
