Lac Jeannine Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Jeannine is listed under Mauricie, Quebec. The surface lies 362 metres up. It measures about 18 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. A shoreline of some 4.6 km keeps the choices simple. The nearest place of any size is Manawan, 73 km away. For a city, Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne is 233 km off. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Jeannine

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Species logged across Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout and walleye. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Anyone new to Lac Jeannine should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 17°C, with January the cold end at about -17°C. Cold dominates the calendar on water this far north. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Plan around that when you fish Lac Jeannine.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Should this one be busy, Lac a Propos is 0.5 km off. Treat access at Lac Jeannine as something to verify.
