1,810-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 177 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Le Beau Lac runs 1,811 acres with 11.6 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.9) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 8% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 5.5 mi with a 0.8-mi widest point. For a second option, Jones Pond lies 5 mi northwest.

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. Spring brook trout concentrate at Main-lake point, a prime-rated point around 5 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

| Hiver | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (12 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring puts lake trout in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 50 to 120 ft, wintering in 20 to 80 ft. Spring lake trout concentrate at Secondary point, a prime-rated point around 26 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.

Spring puts landlocked salmon in skinny water — 1 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 25 to 60 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 40 ft. Main-lake point is the standout, a point at roughly 5 ft, rated prime for spring 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |
| Été | 25 to 60 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (26 ft) | Dodger + streamer down deep, Thin spoon on lead core |

Early season lake whitefish use the shallows, holding in 15 to 45 ft. Expect a summer slide to 40 to 90 ft, then a winter hold in 25 to 70 ft. Put Shallow feeding flat first on the milk run — a feeding flat near 34 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon and you're in the game.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (34 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |

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 Shallow bay flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 12 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm is the honest summer answer here.

| Printemps | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (12 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |

In spring, brown bullhead run shallow here, mostly 2 to 8 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 3 to 12 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 25 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a feeding flat at roughly 12 ft, rated prime for summer brown bullhead. Time it for after dark and the evening.

Anglers target brook trout, lake trout, landlocked salmon, lake whitefish, yellow perch, brown bullhead, burbot on Le Beau Lac. 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.
Secondary point is the top-rated area: a point in about 26 ft of water that rates prime for lake trout in spring. 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.
