200-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 23 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 is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Lac Pierre-Paul maps at 200 acres behind 2.3 miles of shoreline. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 86% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.9 mi with a 0.5-mi widest point. It sits in Mékinac MRC. If the bite dies, Lac à la Perchaude is 2 mi to the west.

Spring brook trout on Lac Pierre-Paul hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 7 to 23 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 23 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 | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 7 to 23 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (23 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (19 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring puts walleye in skinny water — 4 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 7 to 23 ft; cold water stacks them in 7 to 23 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 19 ft, rated prime for fall walleye. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) covers the summer program.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (5 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Été | 7 to 23 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (19 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |
| Automne | 7 to 23 ft | dusk & night | Break off the point (19 ft) | Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow |
| Hiver | 7 to 23 ft | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (23 ft) | Jigging spoon + minnow head, Rattle bait |
Start shallow in spring: yellow perch sit in 3 to 12 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 7 to 23 ft; cold water stacks them in 7 to 23 ft. Top water on the chart: Back-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 | Back-bay flat (3 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Été | 7 to 23 ft | dawn | Deep basin (23 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Automne | 7 to 23 ft | midday | Deep basin (23 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Hiver | 7 to 23 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (23 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 2 to 8 ft. They move out to 8 to 20 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 15 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 2 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Été | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (19 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Automne | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (19 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Hiver | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Back-bay flat (3 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: rock bass in 2 to 10 ft. As the season builds they drop to 5 to 20 ft, wintering in 7 to 23 ft. Top water on the chart: Main-lake point, a point in the 5 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for the evening. Summer baits: a ned rig (small) or a marabou jig gets it done.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 10 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (5 ft) | 1/16 oz jig + grub, Small inline spinner |
| Été | 5 to 20 ft | dusk | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Ned rig (small), Marabou jig |
| Automne | 8 to 22 ft | midday | Break off the point (19 ft) | Small tube jig, Inline spinner |
| Hiver | 7 to 23 ft | midday | Deep basin (23 ft) | Tungsten jig + plastic, Small spoon + spike |
