Lac du Faon in Quebec: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Lac du Faon stands in Quebec. Beyond the shoreline you have mixed forest. Surface area runs to about 3 hectares — small enough to read in one session. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Quebec. For supplies, Deep River is 53 km out. For a city, Gatineau is 206 km off. In the same area: Lac du Serin within 1.4 km, Lac du Rocher (1.5 km), Lac Carls within 1.5 km, Lac Joe (1.8 km) and Lac Sarrazin within 2 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Faon

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The near bank of Lac du Faon is often the one people ignore. Watch for the line where weed gives way to clean bottom.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -14°C to 18°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. Averages place the thaw at late April and the freeze at late November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Plan around that when you fish Lac du Faon.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Lac du Serin is 1.4 km off. Nothing on Lac du Faon should be assumed from this page alone.
