34-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 10 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.
Drawn out, this is 34 acres of water rimmed by 1 miles of bank. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.4 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. You'll find it in Antoine-Labelle MRC. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lac Froid, 2 mi north of here.

Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 1 to 10 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 3 to 10 ft, and winter fish hold in 2 to 10 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 10 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.

Keep a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) rigged through the warm months.
