10-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 33 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's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 10 acres, worked by 0.5 miles of shoreline. At index 1.1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. About 55% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau MRC claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac Hatch, is 0 mi to the northeast.

Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
