154-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 53 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, Lac Aubry draws 154 acres inside 2.4 miles of shoreline. At index 1.4 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 55% of this chart. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.9 mi with a 0.5-mi widest point. You'll find it in Matawinie MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac des Frères, 1 mi to the southwest.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 19 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (19 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |

Start shallow in spring: lake trout sit in 10 to 40 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 16 to 53 ft; cold water stacks them in 13 to 53 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 53 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger until the fish tell you otherwise.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: landlocked salmon in 1 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 16 to 53 ft, wintering in 10 to 40 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 53 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core gets it done.

Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 53 ft of water that rates prime for lake trout in summer. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by 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.
