• Where to Fish on Lac Panneton

Species logged across Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout and walleye. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Lac Panneton repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -15°C to 18°C. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about late November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Lac Panneton fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Lac du Pendu, 1.9 km away. Confirm before you fish Lac Panneton.
