Lac aux Castors

Anglers know Lac aux Castors as one of the lesser-trafficked ponds of Québec, Canada. The standard playbook on a pond 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 aux Castors is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.

Fishing Techniques

• For Goldfish

  Goldfish often feed near the bottom, so present your bait or lure accordingly. Use light line and small hooks to avoid spooking them.

• For Smallmouth bass

  Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.

• For Lake sturgeon

  Fish near the bottom in deep holes or channels with strong current, and use a heavy weight to keep your bait down.
