15-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 30 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 15 acres wrapped in 0.7 miles of bank. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 46% of this chart. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end. Antoine-Labelle MRC claims this one. Lac Rouleau sits 6 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.

Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 30 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 28 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.

You won't need more than a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) most summer days.
