7-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 20 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Drawn out, this is 7 acres of water rimmed by 0.4 miles of bank. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. About 43% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The water lies in Papineau MRC. For a second option, Lac Lemieux lies 1 mi southeast.

In spring, rainbow trout run shallow here, mostly 5 to 20 ft. Summer keeps them at 5 to 20 ft, and they winter in 4 to 20 ft. Winter rainbow trout concentrate at Shoreline break, a prime-rated drop-off around 16 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon most summer days.

When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 2 to 20 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 6 to 20 ft, winter 3 to 20 ft. Start at Shoreline break. It's a drop-off holding about 16 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run after dark and early morning. Keep a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) rigged through the warm months.

Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm rigged through the warm months.
