Lac Guyray Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  The Côte-Nord entry here is Lac Guyray, in Quebec. Height above sea level is 634 metres. Around 40 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Some 6.9 km of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. It is high ground by Quebec standards. The nearest place of any size is Maliotenam, 86 km away. For a city, Saguenay is 486 km off. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Guyray

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Across Côte-Nord, recorded fish include logperch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. The shape of Lac Guyray decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 13°C in July and bottoms out near -19°C in January. Winter runs most of the calendar, and everything worth doing happens in the gap. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around mid May. The season between ice runs from about mid May to early November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. It holds true on Lac Guyray more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Failing this one, try Lac Lloyd, 4.1 km away. Treat access at Lac Guyray as something to verify.
