673-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 52 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 season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Lac Brochet draws 673 acres inside 6.6 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.8) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 41% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 3.1 mi long by 0.5 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Maria-Chapdelaine MRC. For a second option, Lac aux Grandes Pointes lies 21 mi northeast.

In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. Summer brook trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 27 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.

Spring puts lake trout in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 16 to 52 ft, wintering in 13 to 52 ft. Summer lake trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 46 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.

Spring puts landlocked salmon in skinny water — 1 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 16 to 52 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 40 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 46 ft, rated prime for summer landlocked salmon. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (6 ft) | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |

Early season lake whitefish use the shallows, holding in 15 to 45 ft. Expect a summer slide to 16 to 52 ft, then a winter hold in 16 to 52 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 46 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon and you're in the game.

Early season cisco (lake herring) use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Expect a summer slide to 16 to 52 ft, then a winter hold in 16 to 52 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 46 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic and you're in the game.

Come spring, look for walleye tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. They move out to 15 to 35 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 40 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 27 ft that scores prime in fall. Best bite is the evening and early morning. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (6 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
