• Where to Fish on Lac Moule

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. County-wide records name northern pike, yellow perch, walleye and white sucker. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Lac Moule gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.
