343-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 59 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.
The drawn water covers 343 acres wrapped in 3.1 miles of bank. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 25% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 1.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.6 mi at the beam. La Matapédia MRC claims this one. If the bite dies, Lacs Gunn (no 1) is 7 mi to the north.

Spring brook trout on Lac Huit Mille hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. Put Main-lake point first on the milk run — a point near 13 ft that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (38 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |

Come spring, look for lake trout tight to the bank in 10 to 40 ft. They move out to 18 to 59 ft in summer and finish the year down in 15 to 59 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 57 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |

Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 3 to 25 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 18 to 59 ft, wintering in 5 to 35 ft. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 38 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |

| Hiver | 5 to 35 ft | dawn | Break off the point (38 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Early season landlocked salmon use the shallows, holding in 1 to 15 ft. Summer is an 18 to 59 ft game here, winter a 10 to 40 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 57 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core and you're in the game.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |
