• Where to Fish on Deuxieme lac Chasse

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Reported across Mauricie: northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. At Deuxieme lac Chasse light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 17°C in July and bottoms out near -16°C in January. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about mid November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. That is the shape of the year on Deuxieme lac Chasse.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Lac Ermanger, 0.5 km away. Rules at Deuxieme lac Chasse are worth checking on the day.
