703-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 33 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, Lac Moffatt draws 703 acres inside 4.7 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 51% of this chart. End to end it runs roughly 1.7 mi, about 1 mi across. The water lies in Le Haut-Saint-François MRC. For a second option, Lac Louise lies 12 mi northwest.

Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 20 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.

You won't need more than a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon most summer days.
