22-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 60 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, Lac Tessier draws 22 acres inside 0.7 miles of shoreline. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Roughly 23% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. You'll find it in Portneuf MRC.

The spot to know is Main-lake point, a point in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
