Lac de la Goutte sits in Côte-Nord, out in Quebec. It stands 324 metres above sea level. At about 15 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. The full circuit measures close to 2.1 km on foot. Nearest town is Betsiamites, 47 km off. Chute-aux-Outardes lies 53 km off, Forestville another 56 km. Others close at hand: 3.8 km away is Lac du Statu Quo, Lac Josee (4.1 km), 4.3 km away is Lac Marcel, Lac Magoo (7.3 km) and 8 km away is Lac Triangle. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.
Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Reported across Côte-Nord: logperch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Read Lac de la Goutte for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.
The range across the year is -17°C to 17°C. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. Expect the water usable from around early May until roughly mid November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Lac de la Goutte runs to that rhythm year in and year out.
Public data does not answer the access question here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Lac du Statu Quo at 3.8 km is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Lac de la Goutte as something to verify.
