48-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 23 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Lac Gobeil maps at 48 acres behind 1.3 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. 90% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.6 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. It sits in Lac-Saint-Jean-Est MRC. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac Bousquet, is 2 mi to the northeast.

Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 7 to 23 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 20 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 23 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.

In spring, yellow perch run shallow here, mostly 3 to 12 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 7 to 23 ft before dropping to 7 to 23 ft for winter. Spring yellow perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 3 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm most summer days.
