• Where to Fish on Lac Tiers

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. County-wide records name northern pike, yellow perch, walleye, white sucker and brown bullhead. The county list is broader than any single water. The near bank of Lac Tiers is often the one people ignore.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lac Nouveau, 0.4 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Ask locally about Lac Tiers if anything is unclear.
