3,290-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 66 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Lac Carrière runs 3,290 acres with 14.5 miles of edge, broken up by 3 islands. Index 1.8 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. 52% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. End to end it runs roughly 5.2 mi, about 2.1 mi across. The water lies in La Vallée-de-l'Or MRC. For a second option, Lac Canimina lies 4 mi east.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 29 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.

The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 65 ft of water that rates prime for lake trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger until the fish tell you otherwise.

Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon rigged through the warm months.
