• Where to Fish on Lac des Confins

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Mauricie records list northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch among the fish reported. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Lac des Confins responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 17°C, the coldest about -15°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May.
