37-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 50 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Traced from the shoreline, Lac du Quai runs 37 acres with 1 miles of edge. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 20% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.4 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. You'll find it in Antoine-Labelle MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac Caryer, 1 mi to the south.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a feeding flat in about 5 ft of water that rates good for brook trout in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
