• Where to Fish on Lac Dejordy

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Survey and observation records for Abitibi-Témiscamingue include northern pike, yellow perch, walleye, white sucker and brown bullhead. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Take Lac Dejordy a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 16°C, while January sits near -18°C. Winter runs most of the calendar, and everything worth doing happens in the gap. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. Ice clears near early May and comes back about mid November in a typical year. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Lac Dejordy runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. The nearest alternative is Lac Catto, 1.1 km out. The position on Lac Dejordy is worth confirming on the day.
