239-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 14 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.
Lac des Abénaquis maps at 239 acres behind 2.5 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.1) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. Call it 1 mi long by 0.5 mi wide at the broadest reach. Les Etchemins MRC claims this one. Lac Joli sits 2 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.

When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 14 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 4 to 14 ft, winter 2 to 14 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 13 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
