  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Species logged across Abitibi-Témiscamingue include northern pike, yellow perch and walleye. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Lac Millejours the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.
