• Where to Fish on Lac en Croissant

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Outaouais records list pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and rainbow smelt among the fish reported. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Anyone new to Lac en Croissant should walk it once before setting up.
