  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Fish documented in Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Fish Lac du Lynx where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.
