• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 18°C in July and bottom out at -13°C in January. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near late November in autumn. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Lac Millette runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.
