10-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 4 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Drawn out, this is 10 acres of water rimmed by 0.7 miles of bank. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. Call it 0.3 mi long. The water lies in La Haute-Gaspésie MRC. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lac de la Branche Nord, 3 mi southeast of here.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 1 to 4 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1 to 4 ft covers summer, 1 to 4 ft covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 4 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.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (4 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (4 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: landlocked salmon in 1 to 4 ft. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 4 ft through summer, 1 to 4 ft in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 4 ft of water that rates good for landlocked salmon in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core gets it done.

| Été | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 60 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (4 ft) | Dodger + streamer down deep, Thin spoon on lead core |
| Automne | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Casting spoon at the mouths, Streamers |
| Hiver | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Deep basin (4 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Swedish pimple + smelt |

Lac à Pierre is about 4 ft (1 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Lac à Pierre atteint environ 1 m (4 pi) à son point le plus profond. Les profondeurs proviennent de relevés bathymétriques réels.
Anglers target brook trout, landlocked salmon on Lac à Pierre. This species list is an informed estimate from Québec's provincial fish-range maps (bounded by each lake's depth and habitat), not a per-lake fish survey — Québec doesn't publish per-lake species records.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 4 ft of water that rates good for landlocked salmon in summer. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For brook trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
