882-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 131 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:
On the chart, Lac des Sept Frères draws 882 acres inside 8.8 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 2.1) — enough points and pockets to pattern. About 6% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 4.1 mi long by 0.6 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Antoine-Labelle MRC.

In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. Summer brook trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 13 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.

Spring puts lake trout in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 50 to 120 ft, wintering in 20 to 80 ft. Summer lake trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 129 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.

Spring puts landlocked salmon in skinny water — 1 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 25 to 60 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 40 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 13 ft, rated prime for winter landlocked salmon. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core covers the summer program.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (17 ft) | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |

Early season arctic char use the shallows, holding in 4 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 20 to 60 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 40 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 13 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) and you're in the game.

Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 13 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon and you're in the game.

Come spring, look for walleye tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. They move out to 15 to 35 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 40 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 13 ft that scores prime in fall. Best bite is the evening and early morning. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (13 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
