71-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 79 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 71 acres wrapped in 1.3 miles of bank. At index 1.1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 22% of this chart. Call it 0.5 mi long by 0.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Matawinie MRC. If the bite dies, Lac du Piton is 0 mi to the west.

When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 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. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 12 ft that scores good in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (12 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

Early season lake trout use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Expect a summer slide to 24 to 79 ft, then a winter hold in 20 to 79 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 78 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger and you're in the game.

Start shallow in spring: walleye sit in 4 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 15 to 35 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 40 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 78 ft range, good in winter. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) until the fish tell you otherwise.
