263-acre pond near Québec. The lake tops out around 20 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The drawn water covers 263 acres wrapped in 4.4 miles of bank. With a 1.9 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 95% of this chart. End to end it runs roughly 2.1 mi, about 0.3 mi across. It sits in La Matanie MRC.

Spring brook trout on Étang à la Truite hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 6 to 20 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 19 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 6 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (19 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |

Early season landlocked salmon use the shallows, holding in 1 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 6 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 20 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 19 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core and you're in the game.
