Deuxieme lac Dragon in Quebec: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Set in Quebec, this is Deuxieme lac Dragon. Everything around it is rolling bush. It runs to roughly 15 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Bank access stretches around 1.6 km in total. Start from Mattawa, 20 km down the road. The big place round here is Greater Sudbury, 191 km distant. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Deuxieme lac Dragon

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The shape of Deuxieme lac Dragon rewards a slow walk along one bank. Watch where fish top and note the time of day.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 18°C and January near -14°C. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. It holds true on Deuxieme lac Dragon more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Premier lac Dragon, 0.9 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on Deuxieme lac Dragon should be assumed from this page alone.
