406-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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The outline encloses 406 acres, worked by 5.9 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (2.1) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 47% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 2.5 mi end to end and 0.8 mi across at its widest. It sits in La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau MRC. If the bite dies, Lac Pagetière is 2 mi to the southwest.

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 Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 10 ft of water and rates prime come summer. 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 10 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.
