719-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 72 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Lac Nânwatinok maps at 719 acres behind 8.7 miles of shoreline. With a shoreline index of 2.3, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 53% of this chart. Figure 2.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 1.9 mi at the beam. La Vallée-de-l'Or MRC claims this one. If the bite dies, Lac Anwatan is 3 mi to the north.

Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 30 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. The chart's best answer is Main-lake point — point, 14 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (6 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 15 to 45 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 22 to 72 ft; cold water stacks them in 25 to 70 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 69 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |

| Printemps | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (16 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |

| Automne | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Hiver | 25 to 70 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (69 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Start shallow in spring: cisco (lake herring) sit in 10 to 40 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 22 to 72 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 60 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 69 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (69 ft) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Été | 22 to 72 ft | dawn | Deep basin (69 ft) | Vertical flutter spoon (small), Drop-shot micro plastic |

| Hiver | 20 to 60 ft | dawn | Deep basin (69 ft) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |
In spring, walleye run shallow here, mostly 4 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 15 to 35 ft, and winter fish settle into 20 to 40 ft. Main-lake point is the standout, a point at roughly 14 ft, rated prime for fall walleye. Time it for the evening and early morning. You won't need more than a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) most summer days.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (14 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Été | 15 to 35 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |
| Automne | 12 to 40 ft | dusk & night | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow |
| Hiver | 20 to 40 ft | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (69 ft) | Jigging spoon + minnow head, Rattle bait |
Spring puts sauger in skinny water — 4 to 18 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 15 to 45 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 6 ft, rated prime for fall sauger. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bottom bouncer + crawler or a 3-way rig with stickbait covers the summer program.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 4 to 18 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (14 ft) | 3/8 oz jig + ringworm, Hair jig + minnow |

| Automne | 12 to 35 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (6 ft) | Jig + big minnow, Blade bait |
| Hiver | 15 to 45 ft | dusk | Break off the point (6 ft) | Heavy jigging spoon, Jig + minnow (vertical) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: yellow perch in 3 to 12 ft. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 15 to 35 ft. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 9 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm gets it done.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (9 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
