• Where to Fish on Lac Nuage

The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Reported across Mauricie: northern pike, brook trout and walleye. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Lac Nuage gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day.
