Heavy overcast holding through the day, with a soft SSW wind and steady pressure. Start the search at Lac Guylaine along points where shallow meets deep. A grinding day likely, with the night worth the effort if any is. Save the long walk for a better forecast. The autumn feed-up is on; baitfish areas are the key.

Night
Lac Guylaine is one of the Côte-Nord listings for Quebec. Elevation runs to 131 metres. At 3 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Our Côte-Nord list holds plenty of bigger water. Baie-Comeau sits 21 km from here and is the nearest stop. Hauterive is 29 km and Chute-aux-Outardes 42 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.
Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Reported across Côte-Nord: logperch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Lac Guylaine responds to conditions more than to tactics.
Climate normals give 16°C for July and -15°C for January. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around early May. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. It holds true on Lac Guylaine more years than not.
Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. 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. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. The nearest alternative is Lac Carol, 0.5 km out. Confirm before you fish Lac Guylaine.
