24-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 30 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 season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Drawn out, this is 24 acres of water rimmed by 0.9 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. About 42% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end. The water lies in Antoine-Labelle MRC. For a second option, Lac du Quai lies 1 mi west.

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. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 27 ft, rated prime for summer 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.

You won't need more than a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon most summer days.
