Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. In an average year the thaw lands around early May and the freeze near mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Lac en Coeur that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lac Gaetan sits 0.7 km off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish Lac en Coeur.
