1,536-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 125 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 drawn water covers 1,536 acres wrapped in 8.1 miles of bank. With a 1.5 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 36% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 2.8 mi end to end and 1.9 mi across at its widest. Antoine-Labelle MRC claims this one. If the bite dies, Lac Blanc is 2 mi to the east.

Spring brook trout on Petit lac Nominingue hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. Put Main-lake point first on the milk run — a point near 10 ft that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
| Saison | Profondeur | Meilleure fenêtre | Commencer à | Leurres |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (10 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

Come spring, look for lake trout tight to the bank in 10 to 40 ft. They move out to 50 to 120 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 80 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 115 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger is the honest summer answer here.

Early season landlocked salmon use the shallows, holding in 1 to 15 ft. Summer is a 25 to 60 ft game here, winter a 10 to 40 ft one. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 47 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core and you're in the game.
