60-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 40 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.
Traced from the shoreline, Lac du Corbeau runs 60 acres with 1.4 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. 43% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 0.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Matawinie MRC. For a second option, Lac du Crapaud lies 1 mi north.

Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Spring brook trout concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a good-rated weed flat around 3 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
