61-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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Lac Madeleine maps at 61 acres behind 2.8 miles of shoreline. A development index of 2.5 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. Figure 1.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. La Haute-Gaspésie MRC claims this one. Lac Sainte-Anne sits 10 mi southwest — the closest neighbouring chart.

When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 1 to 10 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 3 to 10 ft, winter 2 to 10 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 7 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 3 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (7 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 1 to 10 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 2 to 10 ft | dawn | Deep basin (7 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Come spring, look for landlocked salmon tight to the bank in 1 to 10 ft. Through summer count on 3 to 10 ft; the winter hold is 3 to 10 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 7 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |
| Été | 3 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (7 ft) | Dodger + streamer down deep, Thin spoon on lead core |
| Automne | 2 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Casting spoon at the mouths, Streamers |
