85-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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Drawn out, this is 85 acres of water rimmed by 1.8 miles of bank. At index 1.4 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Roughly 44% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 0.8 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Sept-Rivières--Caniapiscau. The nearest mapped water is Lac de la Culotte, 2 mi to the east.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 30 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: landlocked salmon in 1 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 9 to 30 ft, wintering in 8 to 30 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 30 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core gets it done.
