• Where to Fish on Lac du Bouillot

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. County-wide records name northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Lac du Bouillot fishes better once you know its edges.
