38-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 26 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Lac Fournelle maps at 38 acres behind 1 miles of shoreline. At index 1.1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Roughly 53% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.4 mi, about 0.2 mi across. It sits in La Rivière-du-Nord MRC. If the bite dies, Lac Gordon is 1 mi to the southwest.

Spring rainbow trout on Lac Fournelle hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 7 to 26 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 26 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 22 ft, prime for winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Été | 7 to 26 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (22 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Automne | 7 to 26 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (22 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Hiver | 5 to 26 ft | dawn | Break off the point (22 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 3 to 25 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 26 ft before dropping to 4 to 26 ft for winter. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 22 ft. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) most summer days.

In spring, walleye run shallow here, mostly 4 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 26 ft before dropping to 8 to 26 ft for winter. Fall walleye concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 22 ft. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) most summer days.

| Printemps | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (3 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |

The spring pattern is a shallow one: yellow perch in 3 to 12 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 26 ft before dropping to 8 to 26 ft for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 26 ft of water that rates prime for yellow perch in fall. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm gets it done.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |

When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 2 to 8 ft. Summer is an 8 to 20 ft game here, winter a 5 to 15 ft one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2 ft of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.

| Printemps | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |

Come spring, look for muskellunge tight to the bank in 3 to 12 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 25 ft, then a winter hold in 8 to 26 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 22 ft of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. A double-10 bucktail or a topwater (walk-the-dog / creeper) is the honest summer answer here.
