The water is typically free of ice between early June and late October. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Anyone fishing Lac Villot regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Lac Pascaud sits 5.1 km off and takes the overflow. Rules at Lac Villot are worth checking on the day.
