467-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 118 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 the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The outline encloses 467 acres, worked by 3.8 miles of shoreline. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Roughly 19% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.6 mi with a 0.7-mi widest point. It sits in Matawinie MRC. If the bite dies, Lac Croche is 2 mi to the west.

Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 20 ft. Put Main-lake point first on the milk run — a point near 5 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (34 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
When the water first warms, lake trout slide up into 10 to 40 ft. By summer they slide out to 35 to 118 ft, and by winter most fish are in 20 to 80 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 118 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (10 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |

| Automne | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (10 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Hiver | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (34 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Start shallow in spring: arctic char sit in 4 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 20 to 60 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 40 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 34 ft of water that rates prime for arctic char in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 4 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Été | 20 to 60 ft | dawn | Break off the point (34 ft) | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Automne | 8 to 30 ft | midday & dusk | Break off the point (34 ft) | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Hiver | 10 to 40 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (34 ft) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 15 to 45 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 40 to 90 ft, and winter fish settle into 25 to 70 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 34 ft of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Printemps | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (34 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |

| Hiver | 25 to 70 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (34 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
In spring, walleye run shallow here, mostly 4 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 15 to 35 ft before dropping to 20 to 40 ft for winter. Fall walleye concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 34 ft. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) most summer days.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (5 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Été | 15 to 35 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (34 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |
| Automne | 12 to 40 ft | dusk & night | Break off the point (34 ft) | Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow |
| Hiver | 20 to 40 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (34 ft) | Jigging spoon + minnow head, Rattle bait |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: yellow perch in 3 to 12 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 15 to 35 ft for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 34 ft of water that rates prime for yellow perch in fall. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm gets it done.

| Printemps | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
