468-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 39 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.
The drawn water covers 468 acres wrapped in 5.5 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 55% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 2.1 mi, about 0.7 mi across. It sits in Matawinie MRC. If the bite dies, Lac Saint-Elphège is 1 mi to the east.

Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 20 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 18 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (6 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

The spring pattern is a shallow one: walleye in 4 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 15 to 35 ft before dropping to 12 to 39 ft for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 18 ft of water that rates prime for walleye in fall. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) gets it done.
