117-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 26 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.
Traced from the shoreline, Lac Chavigny runs 117 acres with 1.9 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 89% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 0.9 mi, about 0.3 mi across. You'll find it in La Côte-de-Beaupré MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac Germain, 1 mi to the west.

In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 26 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 24 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

Come spring, look for yellow perch tight to the bank in 3 to 12 ft. They move out to 8 to 26 ft in summer and finish the year down in 8 to 26 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 4 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm is the honest summer answer here.
