113-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 23 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The drawn water covers 113 acres wrapped in 1.7 miles of bank. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 86% of this chart. The basin spans about 0.7 mi end to end and 0.4 mi across at its widest. It sits in Argenteuil MRC. If the bite dies, Lac Monaco is 2 mi to the north.

Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 6 to 23 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 23 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 17 ft of water and rates prime come winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
