• Where to Fish on Lac Scelier

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind.

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

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -14°C to 18°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. Ice clears near late April and comes back about late November in a typical year. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. It holds true on Lac Scelier more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Should this one be busy, Lac Ovila-Fortier is 0.9 km off. Confirm access to Lac Scelier locally before you travel.
