• Overview

  Troisieme lac Jeannot lies in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, in Quebec. The water sits 466 metres up. Nearest place of any size is Saint-Honoré, 59 km away. For a city, Saguenay is 71 km off.

The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Troisieme lac Jeannot

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean records list northern pike, Atlantic salmon, lake whitefish and fallfish among the fish reported. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Troisieme lac Jeannot light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 16°C; the cold one sits at -19°C. Little of the calendar is open water, so timing counts for everything. Ice-out usually falls in early May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Open water usually runs from early May until about mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Troisieme lac Jeannot fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Public data records a boat ramp 400 m out. Parking within 380 m means no long carry with tackle. There is a campsite 1.4 km from the water. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. For a change of water, Lac du Draveur is 1.1 km distant. Confirm access to Troisieme lac Jeannot locally before you travel.
