• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 17°C on average, January about -22°C. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from mid May. Break-up near mid May, freeze-up near early November: that is the shape of an average year. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Michikinabish Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.
