434-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 200 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.
Drawn out, this is 434 acres of water rimmed by 4.4 miles of bank. Index 1.5 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. About 1% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 1.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.9 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Mékinac MRC. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lac Duck, 1 mi southwest of here.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a feeding flat in about 18 ft of water that rates good for brook trout in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
