My favourite part of the French as well. If your at Bears Den, read the French River history book they have kicking around. Great read, talks alot about Etienne Brûlée and the history of the river.
Watch for Rocks!!! There are Smallmouth Bass everywhere. Search for the walleye deep. If you have the right gear there are some monstrous muskies in there. I saw one sunning itself that was in the 50 pound class, the bloody thing must have been on the high 50's in inches. We drifted right over top of him fishing a point.
Lots of morning mist this time of year, you might find yourself having a nice big breakfast and waiting the fog out (that is how I came across the book).
