• Where to Fish on Lac Davignon

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. County-wide records name rainbow trout, white sucker and pumpkinseed. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Read Lac Davignon before you fish it and the day goes better.

  Long-run averages give July about 20°C and January about -10°C. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid April.
