41-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 7 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
On the chart, Lac Noranda draws 41 acres inside 1 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Rouyn-Noranda. For a second option, Lac Osisko (no 2) lies 2 mi east.

In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 7 ft. Summer keeps them at 2 to 7 ft, and they winter in 1 to 7 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 7 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
