• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 18°C, with January the cold end at about -14°C. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near late November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. It holds true on Lac a Morin more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. The nearest alternative is Lac Marois, 2.3 km out. Nothing here settles the position at Lac a Morin for certain.
