201-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 201 acres of water rimmed by 3.3 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.7) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 76% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 1.3 mi long by 0.5 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Pontiac MRC. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lac de l'Orignal, 2 mi southwest of here.

Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Main-lake point is the standout, a point at roughly 10 ft, rated prime for spring brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.

Keep a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) rigged through the warm months.
