Lake Temiskaming Fishing Tips

Looking at heading north in Feburary and trying some ice fishing on Lake Temiskaming. I have never fished the lake before but have drove by it plenty of times. I was thinking of going out in New Liskeard but was wondering if there are any fish on the northern part of the lake or if they are mainly found else where. Also would I need a snowmobile to get to the good fishing grounds? Not looking for spots or anything just any tips you guys can provide about the lake since its a big body of water. Would like to fish for Walleye/Pike/Perch but mainly walleye.

Thanks

On hwy 65 towards Quebec there is usually an ice road out onto the Lake in Sutton Bay

Normally LOTS of ice huts scattered off the ice road.

I did not fish there, but 50 or so ice huts must be on fish.

This yr ice is pretty sketchy everywhere still even up on Temiskaming

Maybe by Feb it will be good ice to drive out on the ice roads.

lots of huts just off of new liskard just back this week ice was 12 inches or better. Fishing was slow but lots of small ones. Freedom tackle spoon was working well tipped with a minnow.

Thanks for the info, Hoping to get up there the middle of Feb. If theres no ice road is there parking in New Liskeard close to the launch?

My friend leave in New Liskeard and he alway go on hyw 65 to sutton bay and he do well there i have a cottage not far from there but never fish there yet

You could try fishing out of Haileybury too. Lots of huts there.
They are closer to shore as it is a little deeper.

I would not wander over to the Quebec side for obvious reasons.

please share the reasons, fished Temiskaming for years as well as the Ottawa river, never had a problem fishing the Quebec shore line. Does the Quebec Army or the Quebec Navy blow you out of the water?????

language difficulties with a CO.

Wandering over to Quebec side might get you into some really bad ice conditions in some areas.

Remember this is the Ottawa River system, there are some serious currents in some parts of Lake a Temiskaming that never have good ice conditions.

A good idea to stay “on the beaten path” in areas with lots of huts unless you have a guide that knows the lake and ice very well.
