• Where to Fish on Lac du Lievre

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Work Lac du Lievre in sections rather than trying to cover it. Snags are worth the risk if you fish them carefully.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 18°C; by January the average is down near -14°C. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. The open-water window runs from around late April to about late November in an average year. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Lac du Lievre runs to that rhythm year in and year out.
