Lac Sas Fishing in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec

• Overview

  Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec, is where Lac Sas sits. Elevation runs to 391 metres. About 8 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Head to Senneterre, 78 km away, for anything you forgot. Val-d'Or follows at 79 km, then Barraute at 96 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Sas

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Public occurrence data for Abitibi-Témiscamingue names northern pike, yellow perch, walleye and white sucker. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. At Lac Sas light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 17°C in July and bottom out at -17°C in January. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early May until roughly mid November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Plan around that when you fish Lac Sas.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lac Lesson at 0.4 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Lac Sas.
