  Expect July near 18°C and January near -16°C on the long-run figures. Winter shuts the surface down for months. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near late November in autumn. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. That shapes the year on Lac a Marcotte.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lac Long, 1.2 km away, makes the obvious fallback. The position on Lac a Marcotte is worth confirming on the day.
