53-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 15 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
On the chart, Lac Jupiter draws 53 acres inside 1.1 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi, about 0.3 mi across. You'll find it in Charlevoix MRC. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lac Pijart, 2 mi north of here.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 5 to 15 ft covers summer, 2 to 15 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. 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.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.

Spring yellow perch on Lac Jupiter hold shallow, usually 3 to 12 ft. They move out to 5 to 15 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 15 ft.

The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm.
