Lac du Savon, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Set in Mauricie, Lac du Savon is a Quebec water. The land about it is taiga. Around 48 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Roughly 4.7 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. It is among the larger waters listed here for Mauricie. Head to Leblanc, 72 km away, for anything you forgot. Chapais follows at 106 km, then Chibougamau at 112 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Savon

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Fish documented in Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout and walleye. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Lac du Savon a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 16°C; by January the average is down near -18°C. Little of the calendar is open water, so timing counts for everything. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about mid November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Anyone fishing Lac du Savon regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lac Marot sits 0.9 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Lac du Savon should be assumed from this page alone.
