15-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 15 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. 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.

Les profondeurs proviennent de la Géobase des bathymétries de lac du Québec (MELCCFP) lorsque disponibles.
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.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| 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 chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (15 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 2 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 20 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.

Start shallow in spring: walleye sit in 4 to 15 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 5 to 15 ft covers summer, 5 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 walleye in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) until the fish tell you otherwise.

Spring puts yellow perch in skinny water — 3 to 12 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 5 to 15 ft, wintering in 5 to 15 ft. Spring yellow perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 5 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm covers the summer program.

Anglers target brook trout, rainbow trout, brown trout, landlocked salmon, walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, smallmouth bass, rock bass, pumpkinseed, brown bullhead, channel catfish on Lac Saint-Amour. This species list is an informed estimate from Québec's provincial fish-range maps (bounded by each lake's depth and habitat), not a per-lake fish survey — Québec doesn't publish per-lake species records.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for landlocked salmon in summer. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each species and season.
For brook trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
