Fishing Lac du Mulot in Lanaudière, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac du Mulot is one of the Lanaudière listings for Quebec. It sits in northern bush country. This is a tiny water, and one quiet approach covers all of it. It is a small entry by Lanaudière standards. Start from Manawan, 28 km down the road. The nearest city of size is Trois-Rivières, 143 km away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Mulot

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Lanaudière cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. On Lac du Mulot the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 17°C; the cold one sits at -16°C. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. On average, early May opens the water and mid November closes it again. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Lac du Mulot fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. The nearest alternative is Lac du Tamis, 0.4 km out. Confirm before you fish Lac du Mulot.
