65-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 66 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Lac Plaisant maps at 65 acres behind 1.3 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 23% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 0.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. Maskinongé MRC claims this one. Lac Bell sits 1 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.

Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 30 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. The chart's best answer is Main-lake point — point, 15 ft, prime for spring. 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.
