• Where to Fish on Lac Tolette

  We hold no depth figure for this one. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Across Mauricie, recorded fish include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. On Lac Tolette a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 16°C and January at -18°C. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. Climate averages put the opening at about early May and the closing near mid November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Plan any trip to Lac Tolette around it.
