• Where to Fish on Lac Mulet

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. 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. Survey and observation records for Laurentides include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. The near bank of Lac Mulet is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

Time your trip to Lac Mulet by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Lac Nelly, 0.3 km away. Nothing on Lac Mulet should be assumed from this page alone.
