So, I have been looking at the forecast for the Ignace area during the week of June 10th - June 17th and it looks like the temps are going to be lower than they have been (highs around 16 - 18 degrees c). Also, the full moon is on the 11th. Does anyone take stock in how these two factors will affect the fishing? If so, are there any specific tactics I should be using during this time? I know it has been very warm up there and I am wondering how going from a high of 27 degrees c on June 5th to a high of 16-18 degrees c on June 11th - June 17th will impact the fish.

Tight Lines.

On a quality fly-in lake, not much effect at all. I've caught walleyes during weeks where the highs went from the 90's to the 60's in a week. Pretty steady bite all the way thru. On a pressured drive in lake, probably a little more of an impact. Fishing the full moon is always a good idea. Of course, fishing on a fly-in lake fishing any moon phase is a good idea ;)

I wouldn't consider what you describe as a strong cold front so it probably won't effect the fishing much.
