• Where to Fish on Lac Auguste-Leblanc

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Fish documented in Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Lac Auguste-Leblanc the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lac des Chicots sits 1.2 km off and takes the overflow. Check the position on Lac Auguste-Leblanc before loading the car.
