1,247-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 79 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.
On the chart, Lac Jamet draws 1,247 acres inside 6.5 miles of shoreline, with 8 islands in the mix. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 35% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 2.4 mi, about 1.5 mi across. You'll find it in Antoine-Labelle MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac Cinq Doigts, 3 mi to the northwest.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Main-lake point, a point in about 1 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
