• Where to Fish on Lac du Coriace

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Fish documented in Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Fish Lac du Coriace to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 17°C, while January sits near -16°C. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. Open water usually runs from early May until about mid November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. It holds true on Lac du Coriace more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Lac Hispano is 1.7 km distant. For Lac du Coriace, the notice at the access point is the final word.
