Saint-Fulgence lies 95 km off, Saint-Ambroise another 101 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Dunklauer

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Species logged across Côte-Nord include logperch. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Fish Lac Dunklauer where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 16°C for July and -19°C for January. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. Count the season from break-up, usually mid May. Ice clears near mid May and comes back about mid November in a typical year. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. It holds true on Lac Dunklauer more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits
