• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -19°C to 16°C. Winter runs most of the calendar, and everything worth doing happens in the gap. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. Open water usually runs from early May until about mid November. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lac Came.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Lac Mela at 0.5 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Lac Came.
