Rating depth structure for brook trout.

26-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 20 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Lac Noir maps at 26 acres behind 0.8 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.2) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Roughly 94% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi, about 0.2 mi across. La Haute-Gaspésie MRC claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac Thibault, is 2 mi to the northwest.

Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 6 to 20 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 18 ft, prime for summer. 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.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 6 to 20 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (18 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 | Deep basin (18 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring landlocked salmon on Lac Noir hold shallow, usually 1 to 15 ft. They move out to 6 to 20 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 20 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 18 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core.

Anglers target brook trout, landlocked salmon on Lac Noir. This species list is an informed estimate from Québec's provincial fish-range maps (bounded by each lake's depth and habitat), not a per-lake fish survey — Québec doesn't publish per-lake species records.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 18 ft of water that rates prime for landlocked salmon in summer. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For brook trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
