107-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 59 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Lac du Coeur maps at 107 acres behind 1.9 miles of shoreline. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 45% of this chart. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.8 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. It sits in Les Pays-d'en-Haut MRC. Lac Vingt Sous sits 1 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.

Early season lake trout use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Expect a summer slide to 18 to 59 ft, then a winter hold in 15 to 59 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 59 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger and you're in the game.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (11 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Été | 18 to 59 ft | dawn | Deep basin (59 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Automne | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (11 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Hiver | 15 to 59 ft | dawn | Deep basin (59 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 8 to 40 ft. Start at Main-lake point. It's a point holding about 8 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |

| Hiver | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (45 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 3 to 25 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 18 to 59 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 35 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 45 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) until the fish tell you otherwise.

Spring puts arctic char in skinny water — 4 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 18 to 59 ft, wintering in 10 to 40 ft. Summer arctic char concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 59 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) covers the summer program.

Top water on the chart: Secondary point, a point in the 11 ft range, prime in fall. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) until the fish tell you otherwise.
