Lac Guy Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  In Quebec, Lac Guy belongs to Côte-Nord. It lies 542 metres above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 6 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Côte-Nord. Start from Labrador City, 228 km down the road. Wabush is 233 km and Fermont 244 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Guy

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Côte-Nord cover logperch. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Work Lac Guy in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 12°C, with January the cold end at about -24°C. The year here is short and sharp: a long lid, then a burst of open water. After early June the shallows warm and the fish move up. Break-up near early June, freeze-up near late October: that is the shape of an average year. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Lac Guy the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Lac Denyse at 1.4 km is the nearest alternative. Signs at Lac Guy carry more weight than any list.
