9-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 33 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
On the chart, Lac du Bihoreau draws 9 acres inside 0.5 miles of shoreline. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 34% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. You'll find it in Papineau MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac de la Bécasse, 1 mi to the east.

Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 5 to 20 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 7 to 33 ft.

Throw a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
