Fishing at Lac Tully, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Tully in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec. The bank is 466 metres above sea level. About 5 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight.

The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Tully

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Abitibi-Témiscamingue records list northern pike, yellow perch and walleye among the fish reported. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Lac Tully repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 17°C in July and bottoms out near -18°C in January. The year here is short and sharp: a long lid, then a burst of open water. Look for the thaw near early May; the fishing lifts straight after. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near mid November in autumn. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. At Lac Tully the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Lac de l'Escargot, 2.2 km out. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Tully for certain.
