Lac Savane Fishing Guide, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Savane belongs to Mauricie, Quebec. The country round it is lake country bush from end to end. This is a pocket water of some 7 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Some 36 km away sits La Tuque, the nearest settlement. The big place round here is Saguenay, 150 km distant. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Savane

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Across Mauricie, recorded fish include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. At Lac Savane light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 17°C and January reads -16°C. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Averages place the thaw at late April and the freeze at mid November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. That is the shape of the year on Lac Savane.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. For a change of water, Lac a Matte is 0.9 km distant. Confirm before you fish Lac Savane.
