35-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 53 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Lac à l'Ours maps at 35 acres behind 0.9 miles of shoreline. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. About 25% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 0.4 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. Les Pays-d'en-Haut MRC claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac du Pin Rouge, is 1 mi to the east.

Come spring, look for lake trout tight to the bank in 10 to 40 ft. They move out to 16 to 53 ft in summer and finish the year down in 13 to 53 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 53 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (13 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |

Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 5 to 20 ft. Summer is an 8 to 30 ft game here, winter an 8 to 40 ft one. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 13 ft, prime for winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.

Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 3 to 25 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 16 to 53 ft, wintering in 5 to 35 ft. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 13 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.
