Lac Jumeau Sud Fishing in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Jumeau Sud lies in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec. What surrounds it is spruce and muskeg. With some 11 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. Bank access stretches around 2.4 km in total. The town to know is Albanel, 33 km out. For a city, Saguenay is 142 km off. Others close at hand: Lac Jumeau Nord roughly 0.6 km, Lac a Cantin (0.9 km), Lac a Paul roughly 1.3 km, Lac Caribou (1.7 km) and Lac Perdu roughly 2.1 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Jumeau Sud

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. County-wide records name northern pike, Atlantic salmon, lake whitefish and fallfish. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Lac Jumeau Sud that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 17°C, with January the cold end at about -20°C. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. 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. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Jumeau Sud.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. If the gate is shut, Lac Jumeau Nord at 0.6 km is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Lac Jumeau Sud in what we hold.
