25-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 4 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:
On the chart, Lac Barbarin draws 25 acres inside 0.9 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. Figure 0.4 mi of water from one end to the other. The water lies in La Matanie MRC. For a second option, Lac du Versant lies 1 mi southwest.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 1 to 4 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1 to 4 ft covers summer, 1 to 4 ft covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 4 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.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 4 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 1 to 4 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (4 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 1 to 4 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |

The spring pattern is a shallow one: landlocked salmon in 1 to 4 ft. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 4 ft through summer, 1 to 4 ft in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 4 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.
