• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 17°C in July and bottom out at -15°C in January. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near late November in autumn. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. At Lac Echire the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. For a change of water, Lac Rosis is 0.4 km distant.
