18-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 46 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 18 acres wrapped in 0.7 miles of bank. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.2) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Roughly 24% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end. It sits in Papineau MRC. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac du Bihoreau, is 1 mi to the north.

When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 5 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 8 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 8 to 40 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shoreline break: a drop-off around 14 ft that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 3 to 25 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 14 to 46 ft before dropping to 5 to 35 ft for winter. The spot to know is Shoreline break, a drop-off in about 14 ft of water that rates prime for brown trout in summer. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.

If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 46 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core rigged through the warm months.

The spot to know is Shoreline break, a drop-off in about 14 ft of water that rates prime for walleye in fall. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) gets it done.

Spring yellow perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 7 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm most summer days.
