15-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 26 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 the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Traced from the shoreline, Lac Rouleau runs 15 acres with 0.7 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 81% of this chart. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi. You'll find it in Antoine-Labelle MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac de la Belle, 5 mi to the east.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 26 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 24 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. 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.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (9 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 8 to 26 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (24 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |

Early season walleye use the shallows, holding in 4 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 26 ft, then a winter hold in 8 to 26 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 15 ft that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in the evening and early morning. Tie on a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) and you're in the game.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (9 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |

Spring yellow perch on Lac Rouleau hold shallow, usually 3 to 12 ft. They move out to 8 to 26 ft in summer and finish the year down in 8 to 26 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 24 ft that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |

Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 2 to 8 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 20 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 15 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 15 ft, rated prime for fall northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
