83-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 16 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 follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Lac Ministuk maps at 83 acres behind 1.8 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.4 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. 96% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. End to end it runs roughly 0.8 mi, about 0.2 mi across. It sits in Le Saguenay-et-son-Fjord. Lac Paul sits 1 mi southwest — the closest neighbouring chart.

Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 5 to 16 ft, then a winter hold in 2 to 16 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 16 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 5 to 16 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (16 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 2 to 16 ft | dawn | Deep basin (16 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
When the water first warms, landlocked salmon slide up into 1 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 5 to 16 ft, and by winter most fish are in 4 to 16 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 16 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |

In spring, yellow perch run shallow here, mostly 3 to 12 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 5 to 16 ft before dropping to 5 to 16 ft for winter. Fall yellow perch concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 16 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
