O'Sullivan Lodge in Quebec

Alright, I'm sitting here in January dreaming of fishing Lake O'Sullivan in Quebec six months from now.

We head up June 10 to 17 this year and every year (for the last ten straight) we've loved the Lodge and the fishing which has been great. Good pike and trout too.

Who else is going up this year? Is it a return trip? If so what's the hot spot and what worked before? I'll trade ya...

Let's get some talk going...

we're going up june 17 - 24 and can't wait. we are mainly fishing for perch but like smallmouth as well. couple questions, is the lake water potable and do the wardens ever visit the area?

If you are interested in catching smallmouth or perch, I think we are talking about two different lakes:

O'Sullivan Lake in Quebec is 200 miles due north (as the loon flies) from Ottawa and is great for walleye, pike and lakers but has no bass and few, if any, perch. I think it is too far north for bass.

As for Wardens, yes they do show up and did so last year in the middle of nowhere, but I think that's rare.

The lake is about 75 miles down the Clova Road, bouncy, gravel etc.

Are you going to the O'Sullivan I'm referring too?

For those who have been to O'Sullivan before, does anyone know what are the native bait fish to this lake?? Trying to decide what type of tackle I will need to catch Lake Trout and Pike. If there are not much Perch (as written above), what are some of the native fish a Pike will strike (walleye?).

Whitefish and gigantic Fallfish.

We are a group of 4 going to osullivan for the first time. We will be there June 18-25. We have fished several other lakes over thw years,but we like to try new places.Last year we were at Gouin res. thru Tamarac. We have heard good things about this lake and hope they are true. I have been looking at a topographic map and noticed alot of drop offs islands and points. I and the group are mostly catch and release and hope to catch some nice sized walleyes. We willalso target some lakers probably trolling. Any info would be greatly appreciated as to good areas to try.

Thanks Solopaddler for the response about the native bait fish.

Oh Yea, what a gorgeous day It has been. Can you beleive March 13th and it feels like May! thought about nothing else but walleye fishing today while working. Yes Andy we will be heading up the week of the 16th. and hoping that the weather will not be so hot at that time. if all goes well I will have a party of five going. My Son Ryan and I have been fishing sully since 1987 and have a decent perspective on how to fish her, but every time we go we uncover a new location that impresses me. I guess that lake is always full of suprises. This year I am excited to be bringing a Minnesota native who has serious fishing knowledge and skills. am looking forward to his ideas on main lake structures and patterns, so as to catch larger fish on a regular basis.

Andy Im not sure, But did we not meet at the Edison sportsman show this past January? Sorry not good with names.

Tight lines everyone
see you on the lake.

We are heading to OSullivan Lake the first week of June this year. Would anyone be able to provide some tips on techniques they recommend for walleyes and pike? This will be our first trip to this lake.

Thanks
Dan
