  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. 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 Outaouais include pumpkinseed, yellow perch and smallmouth bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Lac aux Trois Pointes the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

Plan around that when you fish Lac aux Trois Pointes.
