68-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 10 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 des Eaux Mortes runs 68 acres with 1.3 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.1 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 0.5 mi, about 0.3 mi across. You'll find it in Charlevoix MRC. For a second option, Lac Beaupré lies 3 mi northeast.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 1 to 10 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 3 to 10 ft covers summer, 2 to 10 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 10 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
