54-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 15 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 54 acres wrapped in 1.1 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. Les Sources MRC claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac Nicolet, is 2 mi to the northeast.

When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 5 to 15 ft, winter 2 to 15 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 15 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. Through summer count on 4 to 15 ft; the winter hold is 3 to 15 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 7 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.

Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 5 to 15 ft covers summer, 2 to 15 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 7 ft of water that rates prime for brown trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. Throw a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) until the fish tell you otherwise.

The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 7 ft of water that rates prime for walleye in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning.

Fall yellow perch concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 15 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm covers the summer program.
