• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 17°C in July and bottoms out near -23°C in January. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. Open water usually runs from early May until about early November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Plan around that when you fish Wemtikosi Bay.
