17-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 33 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Drawn out, this is 17 acres of water rimmed by 0.7 miles of bank. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 37% of this chart. Call it 0.3 mi long. You'll find it in Matawinie MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac au Violon, 1 mi to the southwest.

In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Shoreline break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 12 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

Come spring, look for walleye tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 33 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 33 ft. Start at Shoreline break. It's a drop-off holding about 12 ft of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) is the honest summer answer here.
