Bathymetry — 1,799 lakes
View isobaths (depth curves) on 1,799 Quebec lakes — official MELCCFP data. Color-coded by depth, holes identified, shoals spotted. Instant loading, even offline.

The app that watches over
while you fish

No buttons to tap, no menus to open. The moment you arrive on a lake, Ouananiche automatically detects where you are, loads the bathymetry in the background, and watches over your boat. You fish. The app monitors.

📍
Auto-detection
The app knows where you are
As soon as you cross the shoreline, Ouananiche identifies the water body via your GPS and loads the local bathymetry silently. A discreet pill appears with the lake name — your confirmation that everything is in place.
🛡️
Maximum precision
Official SHC + local bathymetry
Smart hybrid strategy: priority to official SHC charts from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (navigable waters), with automatic fallback to MELCCFP isobaths for the 1,799 mapped inland lakes.
⚠️
Two-level alarms
Tailored to your boat
Orange alert at 5 m and audible red alarm at 3 m — adjustable to the draft of your boat, kayak or pontoon. Reinforced vibration in critical zones.

The conditions
that make the
difference

Ouananiche's fishing weather goes beyond temperature. Atmospheric pressure, moon phase, cloud cover, wind speed — all the factors influencing fish activity, in real time.
