• Where to Fish on Lac Cache

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Records held for Laurentides cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. The shape of Lac Cache rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 18°C; the cold one sits at -14°C. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. The lid tends to go about late April and return around late November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Lac Cache runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Expect 1.2 km away in from where the car goes. A pier or jetty stands 1.1 km away, which helps on a crowded bank. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Lac Malette at 1 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Lac Cache.
