• Where to Fish on Savas Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Thunder Bay District records list cisco, blackfin cisco, rainbow smelt, bloater and shortjaw cisco among the fish reported. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Treat Savas Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -20°C to 16°C. The year here is short and sharp: a long lid, then a burst of open water. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. Climate figures give an open season running early May to mid November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Savas Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. A light spinning outfit with a small box of lures and some bait covers most of what swims here. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Rout Lake is 1.3 km distant. Rules at Savas Lake are worth checking on the day.
