• Where to Fish on Lac Rosaire

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Open biodiversity records for Mauricie list northern pike, brook trout and walleye. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Treat Lac Rosaire as a water to read rather than to cover.

A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand.
