• Where to Fish on Deuxieme lac Raquette

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Fish documented in Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Deuxieme lac Raquette gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 19°C, while January sits near -14°C. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. At Deuxieme lac Raquette the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac Bournival sits 0.7 km off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Deuxieme lac Raquette in what we hold.
