  The range across the year is 23°F to 73°F. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Ice-out usually falls in mid March, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Break-up near mid March, freeze-up near late December: that is the shape of an average year. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. The season on Kekingo Shores Lake follows the weather closely.
