Fishing Lac Guylaine in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Quebec holds Lac Guylaine, in Côte-Nord. It lies 416 metres above sea level. At some 2.50 sq km it is far too large to cover on foot in a day. There is roughly 17 km of bank, more than one visit can cover properly. It ranks high for size among our Côte-Nord listings. Hauterive sits 92 km from the bank. Baie-Comeau lies 94 km off, Chute-aux-Outardes another 96 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Guylaine

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Fish documented in Côte-Nord include logperch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Lac Guylaine the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 15°C in July and bottom out at -19°C in January. The year here is short and sharp: a long lid, then a burst of open water. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid May. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about mid May until roughly early November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Time your trip to Lac Guylaine by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. The nearest alternative is Lac Malfait, 2.1 km out. Treat Lac Guylaine as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
