• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -27°C in January to roughly 16°C in July. The season is measured in weeks rather than months. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late May. From about late May to around late October, expect open water on the long-run figures. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. The season on Beauregard Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day.
