• Where to Fish on Lac Couronne

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Across Mauricie, recorded fish include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The shape of Lac Couronne decides where the fish sit.
