• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 13°C in July and bottoms out near -23°C in January. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late May. The open-water window runs from around late May to about late October in an average year. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. At Lac Perdu the season follows that pattern closely.
