582-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 213 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.
Drawn out, this is 582 acres of water rimmed by 6.2 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.8) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 13% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. End to end it runs roughly 2.7 mi, about 0.8 mi across. You'll find it in Antoine-Labelle MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac Vaillant, 1 mi to the east.

Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Spring brook trout concentrate at Main-lake point, a prime-rated point around 12 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.

Spring lake trout concentrate at Main-lake point, a prime-rated point around 12 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger most summer days.

The summer box starts with a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon.

Anglers target brook trout, lake trout, lake whitefish, cisco (lake herring), walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, smallmouth bass, rock bass, pumpkinseed, burbot on Lac Pérodeau. 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.
Break off the point is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 36 ft of water that rates prime for walleye in fall. Open the map above to see every rated 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.
