Rating depth structure for brook trout.

33-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 21 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 33 acres wrapped in 0.9 miles of bank. At index 1.1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. About 77% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. La Matanie MRC claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac du Versant, is 1 mi to the northwest.

Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 6 to 21 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 21 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
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 | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 6 to 21 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (21 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (21 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
When the water first warms, landlocked salmon slide up into 1 to 15 ft. Summer is a 6 to 21 ft game here, winter a 5 to 21 ft one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 21 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core rigged through the warm months.
