• Where to Fish on Lac du Pic

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Open biodiversity records for Mauricie list northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Read Lac du Pic before you fish it and the day goes better.
