21-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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Lac Nixon maps at 21 acres behind 0.9 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. 56% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. End to end it runs roughly 0.4 mi. It sits in Le Saguenay-et-son-Fjord. If the bite dies, Lac du Quai is 1 mi to the north.

Spring brook trout on Lac Nixon hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 28 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (28 ft) | 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 (3 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Early season landlocked salmon use the shallows, holding in 1 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 9 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 8 to 30 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 28 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core and you're in the game.
| 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 | 9 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (28 ft) | Dodger + streamer down deep, Thin spoon on lead core |
| Automne | 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Casting spoon at the mouths, Streamers |
| Hiver | 8 to 30 ft | dawn | Deep basin (28 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Swedish pimple + smelt |
Start shallow in spring: yellow perch sit in 3 to 12 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 9 to 30 ft. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 3 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Deep basin (28 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Automne | 9 to 30 ft | midday | Deep basin (28 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Hiver | 9 to 30 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (28 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
Structure-wise the chart holds 3 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 28 ft.
