66-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 66 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.
Drawn out, this is 66 acres of water rimmed by 1.5 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 3% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 0.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. The water lies in Sept-Rivières--Caniapiscau. The nearest mapped water is Lac du Chapon, 1 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 feeding flat in the 16 ft range, good in winter. 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 (16 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, 20 to 66 ft, and winter fish settle into 17 to 66 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 66 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.

The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 66 ft of water that rates prime for landlocked salmon in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core gets it done.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |

If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 66 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon rigged through the warm months.
