161-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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The outline encloses 161 acres, worked by 2.3 miles of shoreline, broken up by an island. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 24% of this chart. The basin spans about 0.9 mi end to end and 0.5 mi across at its widest. It sits in Matawinie MRC. Lac aux Écrevisses sits 1 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.

Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 20 ft. Start at Main-lake point. It's a point holding about 1 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (1 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring lake trout on Lac du Cap hold shallow, usually 10 to 40 ft. By summer they slide out to 22 to 72 ft, and by winter most fish are in 18 to 72 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 72 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |

When the water first warms, landlocked salmon slide up into 1 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 25 to 60 ft, and by winter most fish are in 10 to 40 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Main-lake point: a point around 1 ft that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core rigged through the warm months.

| Printemps | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |
