15-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 72 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 Bois Dur draws 15 acres inside 0.6 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. About 19% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The water lies in Antoine-Labelle MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac McKavanaugh, 1 mi to the southwest.

Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Main-lake point is the standout, a point at roughly 14 ft, rated prime for spring brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
