256-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 49 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 256 acres wrapped in 5.1 miles of bank. With a shoreline index of 2.3, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. 31% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 2.3 mi with a 0.5-mi widest point. It sits in La Jacques-Cartier MRC. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac Dion, is 2 mi to the east.

Spring brook trout on Lac McCormick hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. The chart's best answer is Secondary point — point, 10 ft, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (10 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (7 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Secondary point (10 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (7 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring puts walleye in skinny water — 4 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 15 to 35 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 40 ft. Main-lake point is the standout, a point at roughly 17 ft, rated prime for fall walleye. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) covers the summer program.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (10 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Été | 15 to 35 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (17 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |
| Automne | 12 to 40 ft | dusk & night | Main-lake point (17 ft) | Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow |

Start shallow in spring: yellow perch sit in 3 to 12 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 15 to 35 ft. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 8 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (8 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
