48-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 66 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.
Drawn out, this is 48 acres of water rimmed by 1.1 miles of bank. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 21% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 0.4 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Les Laurentides MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac MacShane, 1 mi to the east.

Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Spring brook trout concentrate at Main-lake point, a prime-rated point around 13 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.

| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

In spring, lake trout run shallow here, mostly 10 to 40 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 20 to 66 ft before dropping to 17 to 66 ft for winter. Summer lake trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 66 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger most summer days.

Main-lake point is the standout, a point at roughly 13 ft, rated prime for spring rainbow trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon most summer days.
