• Where to Fish on Petit lac aux Clams

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Species logged across Côte-Nord include logperch. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. At Petit lac aux Clams the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.
