297-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 98 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Lac à la Truite runs 297 acres with 3.3 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 39% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 1.4 mi, about 0.6 mi across. The water lies in Témiscamingue MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac Long, 2 mi to the southeast.

Spring puts lake trout in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 29 to 98 ft, wintering in 20 to 80 ft. Summer lake trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 97 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.

A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.

Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon and you're in the game.
