270-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 12 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
On the chart, Lac Croche draws 270 acres inside 4 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.7) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 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 1.4 mi, about 0.7 mi across. You'll find it in Le Domaine-du-Roy MRC. For a second option, Lac des Îles lies 2 mi northeast.

In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 12 ft. Summer keeps them at 4 to 12 ft, and they winter in 2 to 12 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 12 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 12 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

Come spring, look for walleye tight to the bank in 3 to 12 ft. Through summer count on 4 to 12 ft; the winter hold is 4 to 12 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 12 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.

If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 12 ft that scores prime in fall. 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 | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |

Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 2 to 8 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 4 to 12 ft; cold water stacks them in 4 to 12 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.
