• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 16°C and January near -17°C. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early May. Break-up near early May, freeze-up near mid November: that is the shape of an average year. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. On Lac de la Cache that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm.
