• Where to Fish on Lac Sickle

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Across Mauricie, recorded fish include northern pike, brook trout and walleye. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Fish Lac Sickle to its features, not to its size.
