22-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 66 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 is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The drawn water covers 22 acres wrapped in 0.8 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 27% of this chart. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other. Papineau MRC claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac en Fer à Cheval, is 1 mi to the west.

Come spring, look for lake trout tight to the bank in 10 to 40 ft. They move out to 20 to 66 ft in summer and finish the year down in 17 to 66 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 66 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (13 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |

Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 5 to 20 ft. Summer is an 8 to 30 ft game here, winter an 8 to 40 ft one. The chart's best answer is Shoreline break — drop-off, 13 ft, prime for winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.

Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 3 to 25 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 25 to 60 ft, wintering in 5 to 35 ft. Winter brown trout concentrate at Shoreline break, a prime-rated drop-off around 13 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.
