  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Mauricie records list northern pike, brook trout and walleye among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Anyone new to Lac Ontonganona should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 16°C for July and -17°C for January. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early May.
