384-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 98 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:
Lac Saguay maps at 384 acres behind 3.6 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. 49% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.5 mi with a 0.8-mi widest point. Antoine-Labelle MRC claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac Allard, is 3 mi to the southeast.

Spring brook trout on Lac Saguay hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 12 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run 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 | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (12 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (12 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Come spring, look for lake trout tight to the bank in 10 to 40 ft. They move out to 29 to 98 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 80 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 97 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is 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 | Break off the point (12 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Été | 29 to 98 ft | dawn | Deep basin (97 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Automne | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (8 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Hiver | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (12 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Early season landlocked salmon use the shallows, holding in 1 to 15 ft. Summer is a 25 to 60 ft game here, winter a 10 to 40 ft one. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 12 ft, prime for winter. Best bite is 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 | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |

| Hiver | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (12 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Swedish pimple + smelt |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: arctic char in 4 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 20 to 60 ft before dropping to 10 to 40 ft for winter.

Summer baits: a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) gets it done.
