38-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 46 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The outline encloses 38 acres, worked by 1 miles of shoreline. At index 1.1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. About 25% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 0.4 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. It sits in Les Pays-d'en-Haut MRC. Lac des Seigneurs sits 0 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.

Spring rainbow trout on Lac Guindon hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 8 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 8 to 40 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 38 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 | Secondary point (7 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Été | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (7 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Automne | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (7 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |

In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 3 to 25 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 14 to 46 ft before dropping to 5 to 35 ft for winter. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 38 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.

Fall walleye concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 38 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 (4 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 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 15 to 35 ft for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 38 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 | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Break off the point (38 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |

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 Secondary point. It's a point holding about 7 ft of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |

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