Lac Toux, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Look for Lac Toux in the Côte-Nord part of Quebec. The setting is taiga. A pocket of water where every cast reaches cover. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Côte-Nord. Head to Forestville, 128 km away, for anything you forgot. For a city, Saguenay is 147 km off. Close by you have: Lac Trac 0.5 km away, Lac Cocotte a touch under 1.6 km, Lac Meli 1.6 km away, Lac Coco a touch under 1.8 km and Lac Alberto 1.8 km away. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Toux

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Records held for Côte-Nord cover logperch. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. On Lac Toux the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -19°C in January and 16°C in July. Cold dominates the calendar on water this far north. Count the season from break-up, usually mid May. The open-water window runs from around mid May to about mid November in an average year. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. At Lac Toux the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lac Trac, 0.5 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on Lac Toux should be assumed from this page alone.
