134-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.
Lac du Soufflet maps at 134 acres behind 3.1 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.9) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 45% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.5 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. Maskinongé MRC claims this one. If the bite dies, Lac aux Chicots is 1 mi to the south.

Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 11 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
