108-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 118 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's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Traced from the shoreline, Lac Hébert runs 108 acres with 1.6 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 10% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 0.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.4 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Mékinac MRC. For a second option, Lac de la Bécasse lies 0 mi south.

Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 12 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
