138-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 30 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Lac à la Belette runs 138 acres with 1.7 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Roughly 55% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.6 mi, about 0.5 mi across. The water lies in Maskinongé MRC. For a second option, Lac du Vautour lies 1 mi northwest.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 30 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
