11-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 33 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 11 acres wrapped in 0.5 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 16% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. It sits in Papineau MRC. Lac du Trépas sits 1 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.

Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 5 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 7 to 33 ft. Put Shoreline break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 17 ft that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.

Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 3 to 25 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 33 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 33 ft. Shoreline break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 17 ft, rated prime for summer brown trout. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.

Early season landlocked salmon use the shallows, holding in 1 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 33 ft, then a winter hold in 8 to 33 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 32 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core and you're in the game.

Spring puts walleye in skinny water — 4 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 33 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 33 ft. Shoreline break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 17 ft, rated prime for fall walleye. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) covers the summer program.

Start shallow in spring: yellow perch sit in 3 to 12 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 33 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 32 ft range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm until the fish tell you otherwise.

Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 2 to 8 ft. They move out to 8 to 20 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 15 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shoreline break: a drop-off around 17 ft that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Été | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (17 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Automne | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (17 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
