14-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 15 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.

Spring rainbow trout on Lac Campeau hold shallow, usually 4 to 15 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 4 to 15 ft in summer, 3 to 15 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Shoreline break — drop-off, 8 ft, prime for winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
