16-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 16 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Lac Ayette maps at 16 acres behind 0.6 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.1) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. About 62% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Le Saguenay-et-son-Fjord claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac Laurier, is 3 mi to the south.

Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 5 to 16 ft game here, winter a 2 to 16 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 16 ft, prime for summer. 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.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 5 to 16 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (16 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |

Spring landlocked salmon on Lac Ayette hold shallow, usually 1 to 15 ft. They move out to 5 to 16 ft in summer and finish the year down in 4 to 16 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 16 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |

The spring pattern is a shallow one: yellow perch in 3 to 12 ft. As the season builds they drop to 5 to 16 ft, wintering in 5 to 16 ft. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 3 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm gets it done.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Été | 5 to 16 ft | dawn | Deep basin (16 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Automne | 5 to 16 ft | midday | Deep basin (16 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
