11-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 30 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:
Traced from the shoreline, Lac Lemay runs 11 acres with 0.5 miles of edge. At index 1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. About 51% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. You'll find it in Mékinac MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac Le Blanc, 1 mi to the south.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 30 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.

Start shallow in spring: landlocked salmon sit in 1 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 9 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 8 to 30 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 30 ft of water that rates prime for landlocked salmon in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core until the fish tell you otherwise.
