31-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 23 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The outline encloses 31 acres, worked by 1 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. 72% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 0.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. Les Laurentides MRC claims this one. Lac Rougeaud sits 1 mi west — the closest neighbouring chart.
