45-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 26 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
On the chart, Lac Sanglier draws 45 acres inside 1.1 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.2) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Roughly 41% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 0.5 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. The water lies in D'Autray MRC. For a second option, Lac René lies 2 mi west.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 26 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 26 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
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 | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 8 to 26 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (26 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |

| Hiver | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring walleye on Lac Sanglier hold shallow, usually 4 to 15 ft. They move out to 8 to 26 ft in summer and finish the year down in 8 to 26 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 22 ft that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled).

Early season yellow perch use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 26 ft, then a winter hold in 8 to 26 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 3 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm and you're in the game.

In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 2 to 8 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 20 ft, and winter fish settle into 5 to 15 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 3 ft, rated prime for spring northern pike. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.

| Printemps | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |

| Hiver | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Back-bay flat (5 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, smallmouth bass run shallow here, mostly 3 to 12 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 26 ft, and winter fish settle into 8 to 26 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 22 ft, rated prime for winter smallmouth bass. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig most summer days.

Come spring, look for rock bass tight to the bank in 2 to 10 ft. Expect a summer slide to 5 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 8 to 26 ft. Start at Main-lake point. It's a point holding about 7 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in the evening. A ned rig (small) or a marabou jig is the honest summer answer here.

Anglers target brook trout, walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, smallmouth bass, rock bass, pumpkinseed, brown bullhead on Lac Sanglier. 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.
Break off the point is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 22 ft of water that rates prime for walleye in fall. The interactive chart above rates every 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.
