Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Fish Petit lac du Cure where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -19°C and July at about 17°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The window is narrow, and fish feed hard while it lasts. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. Climate figures give an open season running early May to mid November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Expect Petit lac du Cure to follow that timing.
