  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most.

At Lac du Cannibale light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 16°C and January reads -18°C. Winter runs most of the calendar, and everything worth doing happens in the gap. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Climate figures give an open season running early May to mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Lac du Cannibale that shapes the whole year.
