Lac Guy in Mauricie: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  The Mauricie entry here is Lac Guy, in Quebec. It lies 391 metres above sea level. You can fish the entire water from one spot if you pick it well. Most waters listed here for Mauricie are larger. For supplies, Leblanc is 37 km out. Then Weymontachie, 63 km, and Normandin, 112 km. Also on the doorstep: Lac Seuet within 2.2 km, Lac Misere out at 2.5 km, Lac Denis within 3.3 km, Lac Claude out at 3.4 km and Lac Alice within 4.1 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Guy

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Survey and observation records for Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Fish Lac Guy to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -17°C to 16°C. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around early May. The water is typically free of ice between early May and mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That shapes the year on Lac Guy.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lac Seuet sits 2.2 km off and takes the overflow. What applies at Lac Guy may have changed since it was mapped.
