• Where to Fish on Lac Dube

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Reported across Mauricie: northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Lac Dube the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

  Expect July to average close to 18°C, with January the cold end at about -15°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lac au Sorcier sits 0.5 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Dube for certain.
