51-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 30 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.
The outline encloses 51 acres, worked by 1.1 miles of shoreline. At index 1.1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 43% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Call it 0.5 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Maskinongé MRC. Lac l'Orignal sits 1 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.

When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 30 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (30 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Automne | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Hiver | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (15 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Come spring, look for landlocked salmon tight to the bank in 1 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 9 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 8 to 30 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 30 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (15 ft) | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |
| Été | 9 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (30 ft) | Dodger + streamer down deep, Thin spoon on lead core |
| Automne | 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (15 ft) | Casting spoon at the mouths, Streamers |
| Hiver | 8 to 30 ft | dawn | Deep basin (30 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Swedish pimple + smelt |
Start shallow in spring: walleye sit in 4 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 9 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 9 to 30 ft. Top water on the chart: Shoreline break, a drop-off in the 15 ft range, prime in fall. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Shoreline break (15 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Été | 9 to 30 ft | dusk & dawn | Shoreline break (15 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |
| Automne | 9 to 30 ft | dusk & night | Shoreline break (15 ft) | Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow |
| Hiver | 9 to 30 ft | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (30 ft) | Jigging spoon + minnow head, Rattle bait |
Spring puts yellow perch in skinny water — 3 to 12 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 9 to 30 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 6 ft, rated prime for spring yellow perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm covers the summer program.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Été | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Deep basin (30 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Automne | 9 to 30 ft | midday | Deep basin (30 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Hiver | 9 to 30 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (30 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
Spring northern pike on Lac Verdun hold shallow, usually 2 to 8 ft. They move out to 8 to 20 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 15 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 6 ft that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |

Anglers target brook trout, landlocked salmon, walleye, yellow perch, northern pike on Lac Verdun. This species list is an informed estimate from Québec's provincial fish-range maps (bounded by each lake's depth and habitat), not a per-lake fish survey — Québec doesn't publish per-lake species records.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 30 ft of water that rates prime for landlocked salmon in summer. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For brook trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
