186-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 110 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.
Lac Brûlé maps at 186 acres behind 2.5 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 21% of this chart. Tip to tip the water measures near 1 mi with a 0.4-mi widest point. Matawinie MRC claims this one. If the bite dies, Lac Clair is 2 mi to the south.
