56-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 25 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 the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The drawn water covers 56 acres wrapped in 1.3 miles of bank. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Roughly 84% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.5 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. La Côte-de-Beaupré MRC claims this one. If the bite dies, Lac Soucy is 1 mi to the north.

When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. Summer is an 8 to 25 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 25 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.

A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm covers the summer program.
