  In an average year July sits at 17°C and January at -17°C. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Anyone fishing Deuxieme Lac regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Troisieme Lac sits 1.3 km off and takes the overflow. Ask locally about Deuxieme Lac if anything is unclear.
