37-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 10 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The drawn water covers 37 acres wrapped in 1.1 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. 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, about 0.2 mi across. It sits in Matawinie MRC. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac Clarence, is 2 mi to the west.

When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 1 to 10 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 3 to 10 ft, winter 2 to 10 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 10 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.

Start shallow in spring: walleye sit in 3 to 10 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 3 to 10 ft covers summer, 3 to 10 ft covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 10 ft range, prime in winter. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) until the fish tell you otherwise.
