• Where to Fish on Lac du Parcours d'Eau

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. County-wide records name logperch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Lac du Parcours d'Eau a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -16°C in January to roughly 15°C in July. The year here is short and sharp: a long lid, then a burst of open water. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. The lid tends to go about early May and return around mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Plan any trip to Lac du Parcours d'Eau around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. 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 Serbere, 1.8 km away.
