At Lac Samare light and wind decide more than tackle does.

  Climate records put July near 17°C and January near -16°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. Open water usually runs from early May until about late November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lac Samare.
