• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 16°C and January near -15°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Lac Godfrey runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lac Mitchell sits 0.9 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Lac Godfrey should be assumed from this page alone.
