13-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 6 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.
Drawn out, this is 13 acres of water rimmed by 0.5 miles of bank. Its 1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. The water lies in La Côte-de-Beaupré MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac Hupé, 2 mi to the northeast.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 1 to 6 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 2 to 6 ft covers summer, 1 to 6 ft covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 6 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 6 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 2 to 6 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (6 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |

The spring pattern is a shallow one: landlocked salmon in 1 to 6 ft. The depth story barely changes: 2 to 6 ft through summer, 2 to 6 ft in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for landlocked salmon in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core gets it done.
