15-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 30 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 follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Drawn out, this is 15 acres of water rimmed by 0.7 miles of bank. At index 1.2 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 69% of this chart. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi. You'll find it in Les Pays-d'en-Haut MRC. For a second option, Lac des Seigneurs lies 0 mi northeast.

Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 5 to 20 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 6 to 30 ft.

Throw a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
