267-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 50 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.
The drawn water covers 267 acres wrapped in 5.7 miles of bank. A development index of 2.5 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 40% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 2.3 mi, about 0.8 mi across. Matawinie MRC claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac Court, is 1 mi to the southwest.

Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft.

A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
