  Averages move between -25°C in January and 12°C in July. Winter runs most of the calendar, and everything worth doing happens in the gap. After early June the shallows warm and the fish move up. From about early June to around late October, expect open water on the long-run figures. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. That shapes the year on Lac Partington.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car.
