598-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 105 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
On the chart, Lac Marcotte draws 598 acres inside 8.2 miles of shoreline. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.4) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 28% of this chart. Tip to tip the water measures near 3.5 mi with a 0.9-mi widest point. You'll find it in Maskinongé MRC. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lac de la Bottine, 1 mi northwest of here.

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. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 18 ft, rated prime for summer 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.

A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.
