97-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 70 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.
Traced from the shoreline, Lac Thibault runs 97 acres with 2.2 miles of edge. Index 1.6 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. About 51% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.8 mi with a 0.5-mi widest point. The water lies in La Haute-Gaspésie MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac Côté, 1 mi to the northwest.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 12 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (12 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (12 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Start shallow in spring: landlocked salmon sit in 1 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 25 to 60 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 40 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 12 ft range, prime in winter. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |
| Été | 25 to 60 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (70 ft) | Dodger + streamer down deep, Thin spoon on lead core |
| Automne | 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Casting spoon at the mouths, Streamers |

Come spring, look for arctic char tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 20 to 60 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 40 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 12 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 4 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (12 ft) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
