32-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 17 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.
On the chart, Lac de la Provision draws 32 acres inside 0.9 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. End to end it runs roughly 0.4 mi, about 0.2 mi across. You'll find it in Maskinongé MRC. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lac du Pimbina, 1 mi east of here.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 5 to 17 ft, wintering in 3 to 17 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 16 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
