33-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 40 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.
The outline encloses 33 acres, worked by 1.4 miles of shoreline. With a 1.8 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 47% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.7 mi. It sits in Mékinac MRC. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac du Martinet, is 1 mi to the northeast.

Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 20 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 5 ft that grades good for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.

Spring landlocked salmon on Lac de l'Indien hold shallow, usually 1 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 12 to 40 ft, and by winter most fish are in 10 to 40 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 38 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core.

| Printemps | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |

In spring, walleye run shallow here, mostly 4 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 15 to 35 ft before dropping to 20 to 40 ft for winter. Winter walleye concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 38 ft. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | open water | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |

The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 5 ft of water that rates prime for yellow perch in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm gets it done.
