• Where to Fish on Lac aux Cypres

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. At Lac aux Cypres the water rewards a slow, careful approach. A drop in wind often turns the surface quiet and the fishing slow.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 13°C and January near -23°C. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late May. On average, late May opens the water and late October closes it again. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. The season on Lac aux Cypres follows the weather closely.
