20-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 40 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 Vert runs 20 acres with 0.7 miles of edge. At index 1.1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. About 17% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The water lies in Papineau MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac de l'Île, 0 mi to the south.

In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. Summer brook trout concentrate at Shoreline break, a prime-rated drop-off around 13 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (13 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 5 to 20 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 8 to 40 ft. Shoreline break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 13 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.

Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 3 to 25 ft. They move out to 12 to 40 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 35 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shoreline break: a drop-off around 13 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) is the honest summer answer here.

Spring puts landlocked salmon in skinny water — 1 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 12 to 40 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 40 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 40 ft, rated prime for summer landlocked salmon. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core covers the summer program.

If you only fish one area, make it Shoreline break: a drop-off around 13 ft that scores prime in fall. Best bite is the evening and early morning. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) is the honest summer answer here.

Come spring, look for yellow perch tight to the bank in 3 to 12 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 15 to 35 ft. Start at Shoreline break. It's a drop-off holding about 13 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm is the honest summer answer here.
