• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 17°C and January about -15°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. The lid tends to go about early May and return around late November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. At Lac a la Chasse the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. The nearest alternative is Lac Long, 1.1 km out. Where Lac a la Chasse is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
