22-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 16 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 is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Drawn out, this is 22 acres of water rimmed by 0.8 miles of bank. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.2) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end. The water lies in La Rivière-du-Nord MRC. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lac Maillé, 5 mi north of here.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 4 to 16 ft. The depth story barely changes: 4 to 16 ft through summer, 3 to 16 ft in winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 7 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in winter. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.
