2,939-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 394 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 the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Drawn out, this is 2,939 acres of water rimmed by 13.4 miles of bank. Index 1.8 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 0% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 4.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 2.3 mi at the beam. The water lies in Antoine-Labelle MRC. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lac Ouananiche, 3 mi south of here.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a feeding flat in about 14 ft of water that rates good for brook trout in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (14 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (14 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake trout in 10 to 40 ft. As the season builds they drop to 50 to 120 ft, wintering in 20 to 80 ft. Top water on the chart: Offshore hump, an offshore hump in the 39 ft range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger gets it done.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (25 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Été | 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Offshore hump (39 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Automne | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (39 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Hiver | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Offshore hump (39 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Start shallow in spring: landlocked salmon sit in 1 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 25 to 60 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 40 ft. Top water on the chart: Shoreline point, a point in the 25 ft range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |
| Été | 25 to 60 ft | dawn & dusk | Offshore hump (39 ft) | Dodger + streamer down deep, Thin spoon on lead core |
| Automne | 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (25 ft) | Casting spoon at the mouths, Streamers |
| Hiver | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Shoreline point (25 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Swedish pimple + smelt |
Come spring, look for arctic char tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 20 to 60 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 40 ft. Start at Offshore hump. It's an offshore hump holding about 39 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) is the honest summer answer here.

| Printemps | 4 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (14 ft) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |

Come spring, look for lake whitefish tight to the bank in 15 to 45 ft. Expect a summer slide to 40 to 90 ft, then a winter hold in 25 to 70 ft. Start at Offshore hump. It's an offshore hump holding about 39 ft of water and rates prime come winter. Prime time lands in early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon is the honest summer answer here.

Spring walleye on Lac Montjoie hold shallow, usually 4 to 15 ft. They move out to 15 to 35 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 40 ft. Put Shoreline point first on the milk run — a point near 25 ft that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled).
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | open water | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
