21-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 20 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 21 acres wrapped in 0.7 miles of bank. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 88% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. La Matanie MRC claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac du Caribou, is 1 mi to the east.

Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 6 to 20 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 18 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.

When the water first warms, landlocked salmon slide up into 1 to 15 ft. Summer is a 6 to 20 ft game here, winter a 5 to 20 ft one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 18 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core rigged through the warm months.
