• Where to Fish on Lac du Caprice

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. At Lac du Caprice the water rewards a slow, careful approach. Overhanging branches shade fish that would otherwise sit deeper.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 18°C and January near -14°C on the long-run figures. Hard water is a season in its own right here. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near late November. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. That is the shape of the year on Lac du Caprice.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Failing this one, try Lac Nick, 0.6 km away. Nothing here settles the position at Lac du Caprice for certain.
