• Where to Fish on Lac Munro

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Fish documented in Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Read Lac Munro before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 18°C and January near -14°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. On average, late April opens the water and late November closes it again. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Time your trip to Lac Munro by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Should this one be busy, Lac du Plongeon is 1.3 km off. Check the current arrangement for Lac Munro.
