• Where to Fish on Lac Cite

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Species logged across Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout and walleye. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. At Lac Cite the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -16°C in January up to 17°C in July. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. The lid tends to go about early May and return around mid November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. At Lac Cite the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lac Hardy sits 0.8 km off and takes the overflow. Ask locally about Lac Cite if anything is unclear.
