• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -16°C and July at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about mid November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. That is the shape of the year on Lac a l'Ours.
