208-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 59 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
On the chart, Lac Équerre draws 208 acres inside 3.4 miles of shoreline. Index 1.7 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. 36% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.4 mi with a 0.5-mi widest point. You'll find it in Les Laurentides MRC. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lac Napoléon, 2 mi northwest of here.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 12 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake trout in 10 to 40 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 18 to 59 ft before dropping to 15 to 59 ft for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 59 ft of water that rates prime for lake trout in summer. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger gets it done.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (12 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |

Start shallow in spring: landlocked salmon sit in 1 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 18 to 59 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 40 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 59 ft of water that rates prime for landlocked salmon in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |

Come spring, look for arctic char tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. They move out to 18 to 59 ft in summer and finish the year down in 10 to 40 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 59 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) is the honest summer answer here.
