11-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 15 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 follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Lac du Brochet runs 11 acres with 0.6 miles of edge. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi. The water lies in Les Laurentides MRC. For a second option, Lac Malard lies 1 mi east.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 5 to 15 ft covers summer, 2 to 15 ft covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 15 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
