12-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 10 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 12 acres, worked by 0.6 miles of shoreline. At index 1.1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. It sits in Les Laurentides MRC. If the bite dies, Lac Français is 1 mi to the west.

Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 10 ft. Even in summer they hold at 3 to 10 ft; winter keeps them in 2 to 10 ft.

Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.
