• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 19°C on average, January about -13°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Ice-out usually falls in late April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Open water usually runs from late April until about early December. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Lac Gravel runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Overnight stays are possible about 670 m out, where camping is mapped. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any.
