288-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 60 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.
The outline encloses 288 acres, worked by 3.3 miles of shoreline. At index 1.4 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Roughly 11% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 1 mi end to end and 0.9 mi across at its widest. It sits in Matawinie MRC. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac Philémon, is 2 mi to the southeast.

Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 20 ft. Start at Main-lake point. It's a point holding about 12 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.

The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 35 ft of water that rates prime for walleye in fall. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) gets it done.
