Auberge du Lac-à-l’Eau-Claire is a popular destination for recreational fishermen and nature enthusiasts of all stripes.

After trout, smallmouth bass is one of the most familiar species and one of the most widely pursued by fishermen. This native species is found naturally in Lac-à-l’Eau-Claire as well as other lakes in the vicinity, with no human assistance in terms of stocking, etc.

Just like trout, the bass fishing season can begin as early as May 1 when environmental conditions are cooperative. Bass season continues all summer long, ending in early September, when mild weather allows the lake waters to remain at a favourable temperature for fishing.

For bass, the quota is 5 fish per person.
