• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 19°C at the top of summer and -10°C at the bottom of winter. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from mid April. Break-up near mid April, freeze-up near early December: that is the shape of an average year. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Anyone fishing Lauzon Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Red Lake is 3.1 km off. Nothing here settles the position at Lauzon Lake for certain.
