65-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 80 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.
Traced from the shoreline, Lac Perley runs 65 acres with 1.5 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.4 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. 9% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 0.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Papineau MRC. For a second option, Lac Raphaël lies 1 mi north.

Spring puts lake trout in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 24 to 80 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 80 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 80 ft, rated prime for summer lake trout. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |

Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 5 to 20 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 30 ft, wintering in 8 to 40 ft. Spring rainbow trout concentrate at Main-lake point, a prime-rated point around 19 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.

Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 3 to 25 ft. Expect a summer slide to 25 to 60 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 35 ft. Start at Main-lake point. It's a point holding about 19 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |

Spring puts landlocked salmon in skinny water — 1 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 25 to 60 ft, wintering in 10 to 40 ft. Fall landlocked salmon concentrate at Main-lake point, a prime-rated point around 19 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core covers the summer program.
