13-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 15 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Lac de l'Île runs 13 acres with 0.6 miles of edge. At index 1.2 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. The water lies in Le Rocher-Percé MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac Gillis, 0 mi to the south.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 5 to 15 ft covers summer, 2 to 15 ft covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 15 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 5 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (15 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 2 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (15 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Even in summer they hold at 5 to 15 ft; winter keeps them in 2 to 15 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 15 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is after dark and early morning. Tie on a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) and you're in the game.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Été | 5 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 60 ft | night & dawn | Deep basin (15 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Automne | 3 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 30 ft | dusk & dawn | open water | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |

The spring pattern is a shallow one: landlocked salmon in 1 to 15 ft. The depth story barely changes: 5 to 15 ft through summer, 4 to 15 ft in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for landlocked salmon in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core gets it done.

Spring striped bass on Lac de l'Île hold shallow, usually 4 to 15 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 5 to 15 ft in summer, 5 to 15 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 15 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a topwater walker at low light or a paddletail on a light jig.

Anglers target brook trout, brown trout, landlocked salmon, striped bass on Lac de l'Île. 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 15 ft of water that rates prime for landlocked salmon in summer. 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.
