Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Reported across Mauricie: northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Fish Lac de la Violette to its features, not to its size.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. If the gate is shut, Lac de la Trientale at 0.1 km is the nearest alternative. Treat access at Lac de la Violette as something to verify.
