Lac Jeanne Fishing Guide, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Côte-Nord, Quebec, is where Lac Jeanne sits. The surface lies 622 metres up. Small at around 3 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Côte-Nord. Saint-Honoré lies 99 km from the water. Saint-Fulgence is 101 km away, with Saint-Ambroise at 107 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Jeanne

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Open biodiversity records for Côte-Nord list logperch. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Lac Jeanne the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 15°C and January near -19°C. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid May. Averages suggest open water from about mid May through to roughly early November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Expect Lac Jeanne to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Should this one be busy, Lac Lise is 0.9 km off. The position on Lac Jeanne is worth confirming on the day.
