• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 16°C; by January the average is down near -16°C. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. Climate averages put the opening at about early May and the closing near mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Lac de la Paix, 0.5 km away. Ask locally about Lac de la Brebis if anything is unclear.
