At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. The shape of Lac des Nemrods decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 16°C and January near -18°C on the long-run figures. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. Ice clears near early May and comes back about mid November in a typical year. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Lac des Nemrods fishes to that pattern most years.
