It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Mouflon

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Read Lac du Mouflon for ten minutes before the first cast goes out. Steep banks mean deep water within a rod length.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -14°C in January and 18°C in July. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly late November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. On Lac du Mouflon the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lac de l'Est, 1.4 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at Lac du Mouflon for certain.
