• Where to Fish on Lac a Camille

  We hold no depth figure for this one. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Species logged across Kent County include American eel, striped bass, rainbow smelt and brook trout. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Lac a Camille the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 19°C and January near -9°C on the long-run figures. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about early December. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Plan around that when you fish Lac a Camille.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. For a change of water, Jardine Lake is 13 km distant. The position on Lac a Camille is worth confirming on the day.
