Fishing Baie Sauvage in Estrie, Quebec

• Overview

  Baie Sauvage falls in Estrie, part of Quebec. It lies 283 metres above sea level. About 6.15 sq km, so local knowledge or a boat saves a lot of walking. It is among the larger waters listed here for Estrie. Disraeli sits 18 km from here and is the nearest stop. Saint-Joseph-de-Coleraine lies 23 km off, Weedon Centre another 26 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Baie Sauvage

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The channel is where water moves, and fish follow it. Oyster and old piling give the only hard structure in sight. Open biodiversity records for Estrie list rainbow trout, white sucker and pumpkinseed. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Baie Sauvage that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 18°C; by January the average is down near -12°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. From about late April to around early December, expect open water on the long-run figures. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. On Baie Sauvage the same rules apply, with local timing.
