21-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 55 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Drawn out, this is 21 acres of water rimmed by 0.8 miles of bank. At index 1.2 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. 22% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Mékinac MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac Melchior, 0 mi to the north.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 6 ft range, good in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

Start shallow in spring: lake trout sit in 10 to 40 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 17 to 55 ft, and winter fish settle into 14 to 55 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 55 ft of water that rates prime for lake trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger until the fish tell you otherwise.
