23-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 49 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's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Traced from the shoreline, Lac du Chapon runs 23 acres with 0.8 miles of edge. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. 19% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. The water lies in Sept-Rivières--Caniapiscau. The nearest mapped water is Lac Lorinque, 1 mi to the south.

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. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a feeding flat at roughly 7 ft, rated good 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.

In spring, landlocked salmon run shallow here, mostly 1 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 15 to 49 ft before dropping to 10 to 40 ft for winter. Summer landlocked salmon concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 49 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core most summer days.
