256-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 112 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Traced from the shoreline, Lac aux Brochets runs 256 acres with 3.6 miles of edge. Index 1.6 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. About 33% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 1.6 mi end to end and 0.4 mi across at its widest. The water lies in La Tuque. For a second option, Lac à Beauce lies 8 mi northwest.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 29 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
