119-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 72 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.
Lac à la Truite maps at 119 acres behind 1.9 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 20% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 0.8 mi, about 0.3 mi across. Les Laurentides MRC claims this one. Lac Paquin sits 2 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.
