15-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 5 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Lac Laroche maps at 15 acres behind 0.8 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. Call it 0.4 mi long. Le Rocher-Percé MRC claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac Brûlé, is 1 mi to the west.

Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 1 to 5 ft. Through summer count on 2 to 5 ft; the winter hold is 1 to 5 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 5 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 5 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 2 to 5 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (5 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 1 to 5 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |

The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 1 to 5 ft. The depth story barely changes: 2 to 5 ft through summer, 1 to 5 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 5 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for after dark and early morning. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 5 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |

When the water first warms, landlocked salmon slide up into 1 to 5 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 2 to 5 ft, winter 1 to 5 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 5 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 5 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |

In spring, striped bass run shallow here, mostly 1 to 5 ft. Summer keeps them at 2 to 5 ft, and they winter in 2 to 5 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 5 ft, rated prime for summer striped bass. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a flutter spoon (deep) or an umbrella rig (trolled) most summer days.
