• Where to Fish on Lac du Regal

  We hold no depth figure for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Open biodiversity records for Mauricie list northern pike, brook trout and walleye. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. On Lac du Regal the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -16°C and July at about 17°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. Look for the thaw near early May; the fishing lifts straight after. Open water usually runs from early May until about mid November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. The season on Lac du Regal follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Lac Pepin at 2.5 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Lac du Regal should be assumed from this page alone.
