  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Survey and observation records for Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. The near bank of Lac des Deux Montagnes is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -14°C and July at about 19°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly late November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Lac des Deux Montagnes runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lac Manivelle at 0.5 km is the sensible second choice. What applies at Lac des Deux Montagnes may have changed since it was mapped.
