84-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 56 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The outline encloses 84 acres, worked by 1.7 miles of shoreline. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 48% of this chart. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.8 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. It sits in Le Domaine-du-Roy MRC. If the bite dies, Lac Toulouse is 0 mi to the west.

When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 16 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.

Early season lake trout use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Expect a summer slide to 17 to 56 ft, then a winter hold in 14 to 56 ft.

Tie on a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger and you're in the game.
