Lac Guy Fishing Guide, Laurentides, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Guy is a Laurentides water, in Quebec. The setting is lake country bush. The water covers some 19 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The whole outline is near 2.7 km, and most of it is walkable. Mont-Laurier sits 25 km from here and is the nearest stop. Orléans sits 113 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Lac Guy

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Laurentides records list pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout among the fish reported. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Lac Guy gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 18°C on average, January about -15°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly late November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Lac Guy fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac Kilby at 1 km is the sensible second choice.
