14-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 20 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 14 acres wrapped in 0.6 miles of bank, with a single island in the mix. A shoreline index of 1.1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 96% of this chart. It sits in Charlevoix MRC. Lac Saint-Denys sits 0 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.

Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 6 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 20 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 20 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.

Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm gets it done.
