95-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 53 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
On the chart, Lac Mailey draws 95 acres inside 1.9 miles of shoreline. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 28% of this chart. The basin spans about 0.9 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Antoine-Labelle MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac Lowell, 4 mi to the southwest.

In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Main-lake point is the standout, a point at roughly 14 ft, rated prime for spring brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

Spring puts lake trout in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 16 to 53 ft; cold water stacks them in 13 to 53 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 51 ft, rated prime for summer lake trout. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.

Early season lake whitefish use the shallows, holding in 15 to 45 ft. Summer is a 16 to 53 ft game here, winter a 16 to 53 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 51 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon and you're in the game.

Early season cisco (lake herring) use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Summer is a 16 to 53 ft game here, winter a 16 to 53 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 51 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic and you're in the game.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |

Come spring, look for walleye tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 15 to 35 ft, then a winter hold in 20 to 40 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 42 ft of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (14 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |

Come spring, look for yellow perch tight to the bank in 3 to 12 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 15 to 35 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 12 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm is the honest summer answer here.
