889-acre reservoir near Québec. The lake tops out around 46 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Réservoir Choinière runs 889 acres with 6.4 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern.

In spring, rainbow trout run shallow here, mostly 5 to 20 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 30 ft before dropping to 8 to 40 ft for winter. Winter rainbow trout concentrate at Break off the point, 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 dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon most summer days.

When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 3 to 25 ft. Summer is a 14 to 46 ft game here, winter a 5 to 35 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 13 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run after dark and early morning. Keep a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) rigged through the warm months.
