Work Lac Double in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 19°C; the cold one sits at -13°C. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly early December. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Lac Double fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. 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. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Lac Cameron sits 1.4 km off and takes the overflow. Check the position on Lac Double before loading the car.
