Lac Scazon Fishing in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Scazon in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec. The surface lies 479 metres up. Surface area runs to about 2 hectares — small enough to read in one session. On size it sits at the modest end of our Abitibi-Témiscamingue list. Nearest place of any size is Val-d'Or, 58 km away. Senneterre is 62 km and Barraute 76 km.

• Where to Fish on Lac Scazon

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Abitibi-Témiscamingue, recorded fish include northern pike, yellow perch, walleye and white sucker. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. The shape of Lac Scazon decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 17°C at the top of summer and -17°C at the bottom of winter. The year here is short and sharp: a long lid, then a burst of open water. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early May until roughly mid November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Plan around that when you fish Lac Scazon.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lac Capulet sits 0.5 km off and takes the overflow. Rules at Lac Scazon are worth checking on the day.
