• Where to Fish on Lac Jeannette

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Côte-Nord records list logperch among the fish reported. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. At Lac Jeannette the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 16°C in July and bottom out at -15°C in January. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. The lid usually goes in early May, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. In an average year the thaw lands around early May and the freeze near mid November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Anyone fishing Lac Jeannette regularly works to that calendar.
