161-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 115 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 161 acres of water rimmed by 2.8 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.6) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 15% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.3 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. You'll find it in Témiscamingue MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac Joutel, 4 mi to the south.

In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Secondary point is the standout, a point at roughly 9 ft, rated prime for spring brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.

A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.
