14-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 15 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Lac Campeau maps at 14 acres behind 0.6 miles of shoreline. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi. It sits in Papineau MRC. Lac Lemieux sits 0 mi north — the closest neighbouring chart.

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.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 4 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Été | 4 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (8 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |

In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer keeps them at 5 to 15 ft, and they winter in 2 to 15 ft. Summer brown trout concentrate at Shoreline break, a prime-rated drop-off around 8 ft. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) most summer days.

Spring landlocked salmon on Lac Campeau hold shallow, usually 1 to 15 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 5 to 15 ft in summer, 4 to 15 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 15 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core.

In spring, walleye run shallow here, mostly 4 to 15 ft. Summer keeps them at 5 to 15 ft, and they winter in 5 to 15 ft. Fall walleye concentrate at Shoreline break, a prime-rated drop-off around 8 ft. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) most summer days.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: yellow perch in 3 to 12 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 5 to 15 ft before dropping to 5 to 15 ft for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for yellow perch in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm gets it done.

When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 2 to 8 ft. Summer is a 5 to 15 ft game here, winter a 5 to 15 ft one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 3 ft of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.

Lac Campeau is about 15 ft (5 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Lac Campeau atteint environ 5 m (15 pi) à son point le plus profond. Les profondeurs proviennent de relevés bathymétriques réels.
Anglers target rainbow trout, brown trout, landlocked salmon, walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, muskellunge, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, rock bass, crappie, pumpkinseed, brown bullhead, channel catfish, longnose gar, brook trout on Lac Campeau. This species list is an informed estimate from Québec's provincial fish-range maps (bounded by each lake's depth and habitat), not a per-lake fish survey — Québec doesn't publish per-lake species records.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for landlocked salmon in summer. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
For rainbow trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Lac Campeau is regulated by the Québec sport fishing rules (MELCCFP). Check the official Québec regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
