165-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 53 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 follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Lac de la Montagne runs 165 acres with 2.4 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. About 54% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 1 mi long by 0.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Les Pays-d'en-Haut MRC. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lac de la Cabane, 1 mi southeast of here.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake trout in 10 to 40 ft. As the season builds they drop to 16 to 53 ft, wintering in 13 to 53 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 52 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger gets it done.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (37 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Été | 16 to 53 ft | dawn | Deep basin (52 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Automne | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (8 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |

Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 5 to 20 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 8 to 40 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 37 ft range, prime in winter. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |

Spring brown trout on Lac de la Montagne hold shallow, usually 3 to 25 ft. They move out to 16 to 53 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 35 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 37 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run after dark and early morning. The summer box starts with a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night).

| Printemps | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |

Come spring, look for arctic char tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 16 to 53 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 40 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 52 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) is the honest summer answer here.

Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 37 ft that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled).
