987-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 174 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a feeding flat in about 9 ft of water that rates good for brook trout in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake trout in 10 to 40 ft. As the season builds they drop to 50 to 120 ft, wintering in 20 to 80 ft. Top water on the chart: Secondary point, a point in the 20 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger gets it done.

| Printemps | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (20 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |

Come spring, look for arctic char tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 20 to 60 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 40 ft. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 9 ft of water and rates good come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) is the honest summer answer here.
