• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -16°C in January to roughly 16°C in July. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. Break-up sits around early May on average, with the water closing again about mid November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Lac de la Tasse runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lac Gerin, 0.8 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on Lac de la Tasse should be assumed from this page alone.
