186-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 59 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.
Lac Charlebois maps at 186 acres behind 2.7 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.4) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 61% of this chart. Tip to tip the water measures near 1 mi with a 0.5-mi widest point. It sits in Les Pays-d'en-Haut MRC.

Spring lake trout on Lac Charlebois hold shallow, usually 10 to 40 ft. By summer they slide out to 18 to 59 ft, and by winter most fish are in 15 to 59 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 57 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger.

Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.
