28-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 13 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Drawn out, this is 28 acres of water rimmed by 1 miles of bank. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. Figure 0.4 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Les Laurentides MRC. For a second option, Lac Nantel lies 0 mi west.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 13 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 4 to 13 ft covers summer, 2 to 13 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 13 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 3 to 13 ft. The depth story barely changes: 3 to 13 ft through summer, 3 to 13 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 3 ft range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.

Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 13 ft. Even in summer they hold at 4 to 13 ft; winter keeps them in 2 to 13 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 13 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and early morning. Tie on a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) and you're in the game.

Early season walleye use the shallows, holding in 3 to 13 ft. Even in summer they hold at 4 to 13 ft; winter keeps them in 4 to 13 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 13 ft that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in the evening and early morning. Tie on a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) and you're in the game.

Spring yellow perch on Lac à Brissette hold shallow, usually 3 to 12 ft. They move out to 4 to 13 ft in summer and finish the year down in 4 to 13 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 13 ft that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm.

Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 2 to 8 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 4 to 13 ft; cold water stacks them in 4 to 13 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 ft, rated prime for spring northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.

Anglers target brook trout, rainbow trout, brown trout, walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, smallmouth bass, rock bass, pumpkinseed, brown bullhead, channel catfish on Lac à Brissette. This species list is an informed estimate from Québec's provincial fish-range maps (bounded by each lake's depth and habitat), not a per-lake fish survey — Québec doesn't publish per-lake species records.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 13 ft of water that rates prime for walleye in winter. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For brook trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
