Lac Cambrien

Anglers know Lac Cambrien as one of the lesser-trafficked lakes of Québec, Canada. The standard playbook on a lake this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Lac Cambrien is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• For Walleye
