55-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 50 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.
Drawn out, this is 55 acres of water rimmed by 1.4 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Roughly 27% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 0.6 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Mékinac MRC. For a second option, Lac Clairval lies 1 mi north.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 5 ft of water that rates good for brook trout in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |

The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake trout in 10 to 40 ft. As the season builds they drop to 15 to 50 ft, wintering in 13 to 50 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 48 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger gets it done.

Come spring, look for lake whitefish tight to the bank in 15 to 45 ft. Expect a summer slide to 15 to 50 ft, then a winter hold in 15 to 50 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 48 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon is the honest summer answer here.

Spring walleye on Lac à la Pluie hold shallow, usually 4 to 15 ft. They move out to 15 to 35 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 40 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 48 ft that grades good for winter. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled).

Early season yellow perch use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 15 to 35 ft.
