705-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 131 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:
On the chart, Lac Long draws 705 acres inside 8.8 miles of shoreline. With a shoreline index of 2.4, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 16% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Call it 3.8 mi long by 0.9 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Portneuf MRC. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lac Clair, 2 mi southeast of here.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. The spot to know is Main-lake point, a point in about 13 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (7 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake trout in 10 to 40 ft. As the season builds they drop to 50 to 120 ft, wintering in 20 to 80 ft. Top water on the chart: Main-lake point, a point in the 13 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger gets it done.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Été | 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Deep basin (130 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Automne | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Hiver | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (40 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Start shallow in spring: chinook salmon sit in 5 to 40 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 50 to 120 ft, and winter fish settle into 30 to 90 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 40 ft of water that rates prime for chinook salmon in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a flasher + fly (green/white) or a magnum spoon on downrigger until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 5 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (40 ft) | Trolled spoon (orange/gold), Stickbait off planer boards |

| Hiver | 30 to 90 ft | midday | Break off the point (40 ft) | Small spoon on a slow troll, Stickbait deep |
Come spring, look for arctic char tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 20 to 60 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 40 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 40 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) is the honest summer answer here.

It's a drop-off holding about 40 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon is the honest summer answer here.

Come spring, look for cisco (lake herring) tight to the bank in 10 to 40 ft. Expect a summer slide to 40 to 80 ft, then a winter hold in 20 to 60 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 40 ft of water and rates prime come winter. Prime time lands in early morning. A vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic is the honest summer answer here.
