11-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 6 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 season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 11 acres wrapped in 0.7 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi. Antoine-Labelle MRC claims this one. Lac du Loup sits 1 mi northwest — the closest neighbouring chart.

Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 1 to 6 ft. Through summer count on 2 to 6 ft; the winter hold is 1 to 6 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 6 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
