78-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.
The outline encloses 78 acres, worked by 2.2 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. 23% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 1 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. Portneuf MRC claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac Morin, is 1 mi to the south.

When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 30 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 10 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (9 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

Early season lake trout use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Summer is a 21 to 70 ft game here, winter an 18 to 70 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 66 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger and you're in the game.

Spring puts arctic char in skinny water — 4 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 20 to 60 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 40 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 66 ft, rated prime for summer arctic char. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) covers the summer program.

Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 15 to 45 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 21 to 70 ft; cold water stacks them in 25 to 70 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 66 ft, rated prime for summer lake whitefish. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.

Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 66 ft, rated prime for summer cisco (lake herring). Plan around early morning in the warm months. A vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic covers the summer program.

Start shallow in spring: walleye sit in 4 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 15 to 35 ft, and winter fish settle into 20 to 40 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 10 ft of water that rates prime for walleye in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) until the fish tell you otherwise.
