• Where to Fish on Lac du Veau

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. At Lac du Veau the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Lac Calf, 0.6 km out. Nothing on Lac du Veau should be assumed from this page alone.
