Rating depth structure for brook trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
61-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 5 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Traced from the shoreline, Lac Adam runs 61 acres with 1.2 miles of edge. At index 1.1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. The basin spans about 0.5 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in La Haute-Gaspésie MRC. For a second option, Petit lac de Mont-Louis lies 9 mi northwest.

Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 1 to 5 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2 to 5 ft, and winter fish hold in 1 to 5 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 5 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
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 5 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 2 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (5 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 1 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 1 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (5 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
In spring, landlocked salmon run shallow here, mostly 1 to 5 ft. Summer keeps them at 2 to 5 ft, and they winter in 1 to 5 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 5 ft, rated good for summer landlocked salmon. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core most summer days.

Anglers target brook trout, landlocked salmon on Lac Adam. 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 5 ft of water that rates good for landlocked salmon in summer. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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.
