10-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 20 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
On the chart, Lac du Bec Croche draws 10 acres inside 0.5 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. About 37% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. You'll find it in La Côte-de-Beaupré MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac à Noël, 1 mi to the west.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 6 to 20 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 20 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 6 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (20 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |

Start shallow in spring: landlocked salmon sit in 1 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 6 to 20 ft, and winter fish settle into 5 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 20 ft of water that rates prime for landlocked salmon in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |

Early season yellow perch use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 ft. Summer is a 6 to 20 ft game here, winter a 6 to 20 ft one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 6 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm and you're in the game.
