  In an average year July sits at 19°C and January at -13°C. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about early December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze.
