Touseants Lake Fishing in Renfrew County, Ontario

• Overview

  Touseants Lake lies in Renfrew County, in Ontario. Elevation runs to 226 metres. This is a pocket water of some 6 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It lies lower than most water we list in Ontario. Nearest town is Petawawa, 22 km off. Gatineau sits 132 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Touseants Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Open biodiversity records for Renfrew County list smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and rock bass. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. At Touseants Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -13°C to 19°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about early December. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. That shapes the year on Touseants Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Mackeys Lake is 1.8 km distant. Ask locally about Touseants Lake if anything is unclear.
