25-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 5 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 Étincelant draws 25 acres inside 1.2 miles of shoreline. Index 1.7 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. End to end it runs roughly 0.5 mi. The water lies in La Côte-de-Beaupré MRC. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lac Frazie, 2 mi north of here.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 1 to 5 ft. The depth story barely changes: 2 to 5 ft through summer, 1 to 5 ft in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 5 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.

Early season yellow perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 5 ft. Even in summer they hold at 2 to 5 ft; winter keeps them in 2 to 5 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 2 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm and you're in the game.
