• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 19°C in July and bottom out at -12°C in January. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. The season between ice runs from about late April to early December. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. The season on Lac Paquette rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. For a change of water, Lac Guindon is 0.6 km distant. The position on Lac Paquette is worth confirming on the day.
