The water is typically free of ice between early May and late November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. That shapes the year on Lac Very.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. A jetty or pier is mapped about 830 m from here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Petit lac du Canard, 0.5 km out. Ask locally about Lac Very if anything is unclear.
