78-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 53 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.
The outline encloses 78 acres, worked by 2 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.6) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 46% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.9 mi, about 0.2 mi across. It sits in Le Domaine-du-Roy MRC. Lac Éros sits 0 mi southeast — the closest neighbouring chart.

When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 21 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.

Early season lake trout use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Expect a summer slide to 16 to 53 ft, then a winter hold in 13 to 53 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 53 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger and you're in the game.
