• Where to Fish on Lac Gordon

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Open biodiversity records for Capitale-Nationale list lake sturgeon, Atlantic sturgeon, longnose sucker, sauger and channel catfish. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Lac Gordon the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 18°C and January near -15°C. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly late November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Plan around that when you fish Lac Gordon.
