1,608-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 66 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 the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The drawn water covers 1,608 acres wrapped in 17.1 miles of bank. The 3.1 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. Roughly 48% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Call it 8.1 mi long by 0.7 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in La Côte-de-Beaupré MRC. If the bite dies, Lac Gamache is 3 mi to the west.

Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 20 ft. Start at Secondary point. It's a point holding about 15 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
