189-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 46 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Drawn out, this is 189 acres of water rimmed by 2.3 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 47% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 0.9 mi, about 0.5 mi across. The water lies in Charlevoix MRC. For a second option, Lac Chénard lies 4 mi southeast.

In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. Spring brook trout concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a good-rated weed flat around 4 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

Come spring, look for yellow perch tight to the bank in 3 to 12 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 15 to 35 ft. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 4 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm is the honest summer answer here.
