80-acre lake in Cochrane District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 5 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 82 acres, worked by 3.1 miles of shoreline. With a shoreline index of 2.5, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. The basin spans about 0.8 mi end to end and 0.4 mi across at its widest. Cochrane District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, North L., is 9 mi to the northwest.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 1 to 5 ft. Through summer count on 2 to 5 ft; the winter hold is 1 to 5 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 4 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 5 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 2 to 5 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (4 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 5 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 5 ft | dawn | Deep basin (4 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Main-lake point at roughly 5 ft.
