Read Lac Flace for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 16°C, while January sits near -18°C. Ice holds for a long stretch, so the open weeks matter more here than further south. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early May. The lid tends to go about early May and return around mid November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Lac Flace fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Lac Cigare is 0.4 km off. Nothing on Lac Flace should be assumed from this page alone.
