15-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 15 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 15 acres, worked by 0.7 miles of shoreline. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other. Papineau MRC claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac du Club, is 2 mi to the southeast.

When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 5 to 15 ft, winter 2 to 15 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 15 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 5 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (15 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |

| Hiver | 2 to 15 ft | dawn | Deep basin (15 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. Through summer count on 4 to 15 ft; the winter hold is 3 to 15 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shoreline break: a drop-off around 15 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.

Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 5 to 15 ft covers summer, 2 to 15 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Shoreline break, a drop-off in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for brown trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. Throw a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) until the fish tell you otherwise.

Come spring, look for landlocked salmon tight to the bank in 1 to 15 ft. Through summer count on 5 to 15 ft; the winter hold is 4 to 15 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 15 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core is the honest summer answer here.
