28-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 7 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 drawn water covers 28 acres wrapped in 0.9 miles of bank. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. It sits in Les Pays-d'en-Haut MRC. If the bite dies, Lac des Chats is 1 mi to the south.

When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 2 to 7 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 2 to 7 ft, winter 1 to 7 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 7 ft that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.
