• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 17°C in July and bottom out at -16°C in January. Winter runs most of the calendar, and everything worth doing happens in the gap. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Lac Boil runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. If the gate is shut, Lac Milot at 0.7 km is the nearest alternative. Rules at Lac Boil are worth checking on the day.
