• Where to Fish on Lac de la Belle Saison

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. County-wide records name rainbow trout, white sucker, pumpkinseed, brook trout and rainbow smelt. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. The shape of Lac de la Belle Saison rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 18°C and January near -12°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. The lid tends to go about late April and return around late November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. That shapes the year on Lac de la Belle Saison.
