32-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 16 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 32 acres, worked by 0.9 miles of shoreline. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 80% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 0.4 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. Argenteuil MRC claims this one. Lac Evans sits 1 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.

Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 4 to 16 ft. Even in summer they hold at 4 to 16 ft; winter keeps them in 3 to 16 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 16 ft, prime for winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 4 to 16 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Été | 4 to 16 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (16 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |

Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 2 to 16 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 5 to 16 ft, and winter fish hold in 2 to 16 ft. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 16 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.

Spring puts walleye in skinny water — 4 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 5 to 16 ft, wintering in 5 to 16 ft. Fall walleye concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 16 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) covers the summer program.

Start shallow in spring: yellow perch sit in 3 to 12 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 5 to 16 ft, and winter fish settle into 5 to 16 ft. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for yellow perch in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Printemps | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |

Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 2 to 8 ft. Expect a summer slide to 5 to 16 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 15 ft. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 4 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.

When the water first warms, muskellunge slide up into 3 to 12 ft. Summer is a 5 to 16 ft game here, winter a 5 to 16 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 16 ft of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. Keep a double-10 bucktail or a topwater (walk-the-dog / creeper) rigged through the warm months.
