• Where to Fish on Lac a la Truite

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Survey and observation records for Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. At Lac a la Truite the water rewards a slow, careful approach.
