  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. County-wide records name pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and rock bass. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide.

  The seasonal spread runs -12°C to 20°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. The season between ice runs from about late April to early December. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. That shapes the year on Lac du Moulin.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. The nearest alternative is Lac des Pins, 0.6 km out. Check the position at Lac du Moulin before loading the car.
