11-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 23 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Traced from the shoreline, Lac de la Poche runs 11 acres with 0.6 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Roughly 68% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi. You'll find it in Les Pays-d'en-Haut MRC. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lac du Pin Rouge, 1 mi south of here.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 5 to 20 ft. As the season builds they drop to 6 to 23 ft, wintering in 5 to 23 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 15 ft range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.
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 | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Été | 6 to 23 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (15 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Automne | 7 to 23 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Hiver | 5 to 23 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (15 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 3 to 23 ft. Even in summer they hold at 7 to 23 ft; winter keeps them in 3 to 23 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 15 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and early morning. Tie on a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) and you're in the game.

Early season walleye use the shallows, holding in 4 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 7 to 23 ft, then a winter hold in 7 to 23 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 15 ft that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in the evening and early morning. Tie on a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) and you're in the game.

Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 2 to 8 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 20 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 15 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 15 ft, rated prime for fall northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.

Break off the point is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for walleye in fall. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For rainbow 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.
