86-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 33 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's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Drawn out, this is 86 acres of water rimmed by 1.4 miles of bank. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.1) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 49% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 0.5 mi, about 0.4 mi across. The water lies in Les Pays-d'en-Haut MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac Breton, 1 mi to the southeast.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 5 to 20 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 30 ft before dropping to 7 to 33 ft for winter.

Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.
