19-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 13 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 the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
On the chart, Lac Côté draws 19 acres inside 0.7 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.2) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi. You'll find it in Antoine-Labelle MRC. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lac Greslon, 1 mi east of here.
Carte de pêche interactive gratuite — Lac Côté, Québec : courbes de profondeur issues de relevés bathymétriques réels jusqu'à 4 m (13 pi), et les meilleurs sites pour omble de fontaine, doré jaune, perchaude et plus. Les profondeurs proviennent de la Géobase des bathymétries de lac du Québec (MELCCFP) lorsque disponibles.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 13 ft. Summer keeps them at 4 to 13 ft, and they winter in 2 to 13 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 13 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.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 13 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 4 to 13 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (13 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 13 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 2 to 13 ft | dawn | Deep basin (13 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Come spring, look for walleye tight to the bank in 3 to 13 ft. Through summer count on 4 to 13 ft; the winter hold is 4 to 13 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 13 ft of water and rates prime come winter. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 3 to 13 ft | dusk & dawn | open water | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Été | 4 to 13 ft | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (13 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |

Come spring, look for yellow perch tight to the bank in 3 to 12 ft. They move out to 4 to 13 ft in summer and finish the year down in 4 to 13 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Back-bay flat: a weed flat around 6 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.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (6 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Été | 4 to 13 ft | dawn | Deep basin (13 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |

| Hiver | 4 to 13 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (13 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 2 to 8 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 4 to 13 ft; cold water stacks them in 4 to 13 ft. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 2 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.

Anglers target brook trout, walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, rock bass, pumpkinseed on Lac Côté. 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 13 ft of water that rates prime for walleye in winter. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
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.
