193-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 8 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 rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The drawn water covers 193 acres wrapped in 2.3 miles of bank. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.2) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. Call it 0.9 mi long by 0.5 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Les Etchemins MRC. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac Etchemin, is 6 mi to the northwest.

Spring brook trout on Lac Algonquin hold shallow, usually 1 to 8 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 2 to 8 ft in summer, 1 to 8 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 7 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 8 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 2 to 8 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (7 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 1 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 1 to 8 ft | dawn | Deep basin (7 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Start shallow in spring: yellow perch sit in 2 to 8 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 2 to 8 ft covers summer, 2 to 8 ft covers winter. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 2 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Été | 2 to 8 ft | dawn | Deep basin (7 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |

| Hiver | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (7 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
Come spring, look for smallmouth bass tight to the bank in 2 to 8 ft. Through summer count on 2 to 8 ft; the winter hold is 2 to 8 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Main-lake point: a point around 3 ft that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 8 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Ned rig, Tube jig |
| Été | 2 to 8 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4 ft) | Drop shot (goby/minnow), Ned rig |
| Automne | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Jerkbait, Blade bait |
| Hiver | 2 to 8 ft | midday | Break off the point (4 ft) | Blade bait, Hair jig |
When the water first warms, brown bullhead slide up into 2 to 8 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 2 to 8 ft, winter 2 to 8 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 7 ft that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and the evening.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 8 ft | dusk & night | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | |
| Été | 2 to 8 ft | night & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | |
| Automne | 2 to 8 ft | dusk | Deep basin (7 ft) | |
| Hiver | 2 to 8 ft | midday | Deep basin (7 ft) |
