18-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 10 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The outline encloses 18 acres, worked by 0.7 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. La Rivière-du-Nord MRC claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac Cornu, is 1 mi to the north.

Les profondeurs proviennent de la Géobase des bathymétries de lac du Québec (MELCCFP) lorsque disponibles.
Spring rainbow trout on Lac Maillé hold shallow, usually 3 to 10 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 3 to 10 ft in summer, 2 to 10 ft once it turns cold. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 9 ft that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 3 to 10 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Été | 3 to 10 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (9 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Automne | 3 to 10 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (9 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Hiver | 2 to 10 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Deep basin (9 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 10 ft. Summer keeps them at 3 to 10 ft, and they winter in 1 to 10 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 9 ft, rated prime for summer brown trout. Time it for after dark and early morning. You won't need more than a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) most summer days.

In spring, walleye run shallow here, mostly 3 to 10 ft. Summer keeps them at 3 to 10 ft, and they winter in 3 to 10 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 9 ft, rated prime for winter walleye. Time it for the evening and early morning. You won't need more than a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) most summer days.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: yellow perch in 3 to 10 ft. The depth story barely changes: 3 to 10 ft through summer, 3 to 10 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 9 ft range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm gets it done.

When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 2 to 8 ft. By summer they slide out to 3 to 10 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 10 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 2 ft that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.

Come spring, look for muskellunge tight to the bank in 3 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 9 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is the evening and early morning. A double-10 bucktail or a topwater (walk-the-dog / creeper) is the honest summer answer here.

Lac Maillé is about 10 ft (3 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Lac Maillé atteint environ 3 m (10 pi) à son point le plus profond. Les profondeurs proviennent de relevés bathymétriques réels.
Anglers target rainbow trout, brown trout, walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, muskellunge, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, rock bass, crappie, pumpkinseed, brown bullhead, channel catfish, longnose gar on Lac Maillé. This species list is an informed estimate from Québec's provincial fish-range maps (bounded by each lake's depth and habitat), not a per-lake fish survey — Québec doesn't publish per-lake species records.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 9 ft of water that rates prime for walleye in winter. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For rainbow trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Lac Maillé is regulated by the Québec sport fishing rules (MELCCFP). Check the official Québec regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
