19-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 79 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 is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Traced from the shoreline, Lac Tracy runs 19 acres with 0.7 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 23% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other. You'll find it in La Rivière-du-Nord MRC. For a second option, Lac Montaubois lies 0 mi southwest.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake trout in 10 to 40 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 24 to 79 ft before dropping to 20 to 79 ft for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 72 ft of water that rates prime for lake trout in summer. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger gets it done.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (16 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |

Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 5 to 20 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 8 to 40 ft. The spot to know is Main-lake point, a point in about 16 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

The summer box starts with a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night).

If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 72 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon is the honest summer answer here.
