73-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 60 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.
Lac Le Clercq maps at 73 acres behind 1.7 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Roughly 54% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.8 mi, about 0.2 mi across. It sits in La Matanie MRC. Lac Lebreux sits 1 mi northwest — the closest neighbouring chart.

Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 20 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 15 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

When the water first warms, lake trout slide up into 10 to 40 ft. By summer they slide out to 18 to 60 ft, and by winter most fish are in 15 to 60 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 56 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger rigged through the warm months.
