13-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 10 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.
On the chart, Lac Léonard draws 13 acres inside 0.7 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi. The water lies in Les Pays-d'en-Haut MRC. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lac Kanawana, 0 mi northwest of here.

Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 3 to 10 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 3 to 10 ft, and winter fish hold in 2 to 10 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 7 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.

Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 1 to 10 ft. Through summer count on 3 to 10 ft; the winter hold is 1 to 10 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 7 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) is the honest summer answer here.

If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 7 ft that scores prime in fall. Best bite is the evening and early morning. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) is the honest summer answer here.

The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 7 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
