Hi. My question is regarding a lake I have heard about called O’Sullivan lake in Quebec. It is east of La Verendrye and has an outfitter called O’Sullivan lake lodge. Any insight into this lake or the fishing there? thanks, Ernie

O%u2019Sullivan Lake is known as the place to go when looking for the thrill of a large catch. Bordered by Quebec%u2019s largest wildlife reserve, the lake is easily accessible by plane or vehicle. Its crystal clear waters provide a home for trout, pike and walleye. O%u2019Sullivan Lake holds the proud honor of being home to %u201COld Sully%u201D. This is the largest walleye at the top ten largest released walleye list at 36%u201D. To date, no one has been able to catch %u201COld Sully%u201D. This has given him some growing time so there is no telling how big he can be now. A program unique to O%u2019Sullivan Lake is the Trophy Catch and Release Program. Here the angler who catches the largest size fish in each category receives a certificate and a featured spot on the lake website. In addition to this, the details of the catch such as fish type and size are recorded on a plaque that permanently hangs inside the O%u2019Sullivan Lake lodge. Northern Pike can readily be found in O%u2019Sullivan Lake. This fish is highly territorial and aggressive in nature. An average size Northern Pike weighs in around 6 to 12 pounds. The common trophy sized fish pulled from O%u2019Sullivan Lake average between 12 to 30 pounds. The best place to seek out Northern Pike is in weed beds along the shoreline area. Lure suggestions would be to give floating plugs and spoons a try. Another great option is surface trolling with dead bait. Another great breed of fish found in O%u2019Sullivan Lake is trout. This bottom dwelling fish typically weighs in around 20 to 35 pounds in trophy size. The average size is slightly smaller at 4 to 15 pounds. The best times to fish the lake for trout is from May to August. Either light tackle techniques or trolling will produce successful results. Take a shot at capturing %u201COld Sully%u201D or his walleye friends by seeking out areas near sandbars or cutoffs. Ideal technique for this are still fishing with baited jigs or trolling with bottom bouncers and sinking lures. Common trophy sized walleye in O%u2019Sullivan Lake are 22 to 36 inches in length.
