• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 16°C and January near -19°C. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid May.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lac de l'Etourneau sits 0.5 km off and takes the overflow. For Lac de l'Alouette, the notice at the access point is the final word.
