• Where to Fish on Lac des Deux Baies

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Survey and observation records for Capitale-Nationale include lake sturgeon, Atlantic sturgeon, longnose sucker and sauger. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. On Lac des Deux Baies the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -15°C in January to roughly 17°C in July. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. After late April the shallows warm and the fish move up. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about late November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze.
