1,586-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 100 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The drawn water covers 1,582 acres wrapped in 28.6 miles of bank, with 8 islands in the mix. With a shoreline index of 5.1, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. About 49% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 4 mi end to end and 2.4 mi across at its widest. It sits in Antoine-Labelle MRC. If the bite dies, Lac Fernand is 1 mi to the north.

Spring brook trout on Lac Cinq Doigts hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. The chart's best answer is Main-lake point — point, 8 ft, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (6 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Come spring, look for lake trout tight to the bank in 10 to 40 ft. Expect a summer slide to 30 to 100 ft, then a winter hold in 20 to 80 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 100 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Été | 30 to 100 ft | dawn | Deep basin (100 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Automne | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Hiver | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (6 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 15 to 45 ft. As the season builds they drop to 40 to 90 ft, wintering in 25 to 70 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 100 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (26 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Été | 40 to 90 ft | dawn | Deep basin (100 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Automne | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Hiver | 25 to 70 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (26 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: cisco (lake herring) in 10 to 40 ft. As the season builds they drop to 40 to 80 ft, wintering in 20 to 60 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 6 ft range, good in fall. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic gets it done.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (100 ft) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Été | 40 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (100 ft) | Vertical flutter spoon (small), Drop-shot micro plastic |
| Automne | 5 to 25 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (6 ft) | Small casting spoon, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Hiver | 20 to 60 ft | dawn | Deep basin (100 ft) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |
Spring puts walleye in skinny water — 4 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 15 to 35 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 40 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 6 ft, rated prime for fall walleye. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) covers the summer program.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Été | 15 to 35 ft | dusk & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (26 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |
| Automne | 12 to 40 ft | dusk & night | Break off the point (6 ft) | Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow |
| Hiver | 20 to 40 ft | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (100 ft) | Jigging spoon + minnow head, Rattle bait |
Start shallow in spring: yellow perch sit in 3 to 12 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 15 to 35 ft. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 10 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (10 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (10 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Automne | 12 to 35 ft | midday | Break off the point (6 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Hiver | 15 to 35 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (26 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |

Anglers target brook trout, lake trout, lake whitefish, cisco (lake herring), walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, smallmouth bass, rock bass, pumpkinseed, burbot on Lac Cinq Doigts. This species list is an informed estimate from Québec's provincial fish-range maps (bounded by each lake's depth and habitat), not a per-lake fish survey — Québec doesn't publish per-lake species records.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 100 ft of water that rates prime for lake trout in summer. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For brook trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
