Jehu Lake, New Brunswick: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Look for Jehu Lake in Queens County, New Brunswick. This is mixed forest ground. The water measures roughly 3 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is a small entry by Queens County standards. Some 18 km away sits Chipman, the nearest settlement. Then Grand Lake, 23 km, and Minto, 27 km. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Jehu Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Records held for Queens County cover yellow perch, alewife and pumpkinseed. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Jehu Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 19°C in July and bottoms out near -10°C in January. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. Open water usually runs from late April until about early December. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. The season on Jehu Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Dorsey Lake is 11 km distant.
