60-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 53 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Lac aux Cailloux maps at 60 acres behind 1.3 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Roughly 85% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 0.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. La Côte-de-Beaupré MRC claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac Magny, is 1 mi to the north.

Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 30 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. The chart's best answer is Main-lake point — point, 4 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.
