• Where to Fish on Lac Triangle

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Public occurrence data for Mauricie names northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Lac Triangle responds to conditions more than to tactics.

The water is typically free of ice between early May and mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Expect Lac Triangle to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Failing this one, try Lac Rond, 0.9 km away. Check the current arrangement for Lac Triangle.
