31-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 33 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Lac Renaud runs 31 acres with 0.9 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. 34% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. The water lies in Les Pays-d'en-Haut MRC. For a second option, Lac Bouchette lies 2 mi west.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 5 to 20 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 30 ft before dropping to 7 to 33 ft for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 27 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in winter. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (11 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Été | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (27 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |

Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 3 to 25 ft. Summer is a 10 to 33 ft game here, winter a 5 to 33 ft one. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 27 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is after dark and early morning. Tie on a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) and you're in the game.

Early season walleye use the shallows, holding in 4 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 33 ft game here, winter a 10 to 33 ft one. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 27 ft, prime for fall. Best bite is the evening and early morning. Tie on a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) and you're in the game.

This species list is an informed estimate from Québec's provincial fish-range maps (bounded by each lake's depth and habitat), not a per-lake fish survey — Québec doesn't publish per-lake species records.
Break off the point is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 27 ft of water that rates prime for walleye in fall. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
For rainbow trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
