Lac Sablier Fishing in Outaouais, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Sablier is an Outaouais water, Quebec side. It stands 298 metres above sea level. This is a tiny water, and one quiet approach covers all of it. It is a small entry by Outaouais standards. Supplies mean a trip to Saint-Boniface, 68 km off. Ferme-Neuve is 71 km away, with Mont-Laurier at 80 km. Within easy reach: Lac Perce 0.4 km away, Lac des Champignons (1.2 km), Lac Atrin 1.7 km away, Lac a l'Anguille (1.9 km) and Lac Amador 2 km away. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Sablier

  Our records hold no depth for this water. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Outaouais include pumpkinseed, yellow perch and smallmouth bass. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Lac Sablier a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 17°C and January at -17°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April. The lid tends to go about late April and return around late November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. It holds true on Lac Sablier more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. For a change of water, Lac Perce is 0.4 km distant. Confirm before you fish Lac Sablier.
