A grey, even sky over the water, with a firm NW blow with the glass holding level. On Lac Pavot, work inflow corners and shaded margins first. Not a day the forecast likes; the night keeps a flicker of interest. Lower the pace and stay patient. Biting air and slow fish: small baits, long pauses.

You will find Lac Pavot in Mauricie, Quebec. Height above sea level is 413 metres. A splashy cast here empties the swim; a quiet one owns it. Our Mauricie list holds plenty of bigger water. Nearest town is Mandeville, 25 km off. Trois-Rivières is the closest city, 69 km away. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.
Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. County-wide records name northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Read Lac Pavot before you fish it and the day goes better.
Long-run averages give July about 18°C and January about -15°C. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. At Lac Pavot the season follows that pattern closely.
We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Should this one be busy, Lac Dispos is 0.6 km off. None of that is settled for Lac Pavot in what we hold.
