• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 19°C, with January the cold end at about -13°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near early December: that is the shape of an average year. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Plan around that when you fish Lac a Killey.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first.
