• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 17°C on average, January about -23°C. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. Climate averages put the opening at about early May and the closing near early November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. On Peloquin Lake that shapes the whole year.
