Lac Guy near Roberval: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Lac Guy lies in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec. Elevation runs to 369 metres. This is a pocket water of some 6 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Head to Roberval, 24 km away, for anything you forgot. It is 103 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Guy

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean records list northern pike, Atlantic salmon and lake whitefish among the fish reported. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Lac Guy responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 17°C, the coldest about -17°C. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. At Lac Guy the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Should this one be busy, Lac Verdet is 0.5 km off. The position on Lac Guy is worth confirming on the day.
