• Where to Fish on Lac des Jurons

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Abitibi-Témiscamingue include northern pike, yellow perch and walleye. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. At Lac des Jurons the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 17°C and January near -17°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. Open water usually runs from early May until about mid November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. The season on Lac des Jurons rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. For a change of water, Lac Seraphin is 0.4 km distant. Confirm before you fish Lac des Jurons.
