44-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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The drawn water covers 44 acres wrapped in 1.2 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 5% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 0.5 mi, about 0.2 mi across. It sits in Sept-Rivières--Caniapiscau. Lac Triangle sits 1 mi north — the closest neighbouring chart.

Spring brook trout on Lac Quipo hold shallow, usually 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. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — feeding flat, 9 ft, good for spring. 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 | Shallow bay flat (9 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (9 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Come spring, look for lake trout tight to the bank in 10 to 40 ft. Expect a summer slide to 20 to 66 ft, then a winter hold in 17 to 66 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 66 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Été | 20 to 66 ft | dawn | Deep basin (66 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Automne | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | open water | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Hiver | 17 to 66 ft | dawn | Deep basin (66 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Early season landlocked salmon use the shallows, holding in 1 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 25 to 60 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 40 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 66 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core and you're in the game.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |
| Été | 25 to 60 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (66 ft) | Dodger + streamer down deep, Thin spoon on lead core |

| Hiver | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Deep basin (66 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Swedish pimple + smelt |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 15 to 45 ft. As the season builds they drop to 20 to 66 ft, wintering in 20 to 66 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 66 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (11 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
