Lac du Tohi, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Abitibi-Témiscamingue in Quebec is where Lac du Tohi sits. It sits in rolling bush country. About 6 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Notre-Dame-du-Lac is the closest place, 46 km off. Témiscaming lies 51 km off, Saint-Isidore another 64 km. What else is close: Lac Nibin 0.9 km off, Lac des Jours d'Ete roughly 1.9 km, Lac de la Clarte 2.5 km off, Lac des Pleurotes roughly 2.6 km and Lac Otarie 3.2 km off. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Tohi

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Abitibi-Témiscamingue records list northern pike, yellow perch, walleye, white sucker and brown bullhead among the fish reported. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Lac du Tohi the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -15°C in January and 18°C in July. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly late November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Time your trip to Lac du Tohi by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lac Nibin at 0.9 km is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Lac du Tohi before loading the car.
