• Where to Fish on Longpre Lake

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Longpre Lake repays a walk before the first cast. Colour after rain pulls fish into the margins.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 13°C in July and bottoms out near -29°C in January. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid June. The season between ice runs from about mid June to mid October. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Longpre Lake that shapes the whole year.
