20-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.
Drawn out, this is 20 acres of water rimmed by 0.8 miles of bank. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Roughly 9% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi. You'll find it in Maskinongé MRC. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lac Patrie, 2 mi west of here.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Shoreline break, a drop-off in the 15 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (15 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

Summer baits: a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger gets it done.
