• Where to Fish on Lac aux Sources

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Records held for Lanaudière cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and rock bass. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. On Lac aux Sources the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Lac Fer a Cheval is 1.4 km distant. What applies at Lac aux Sources may have changed since it was mapped.
