18-acre lake in Haliburton County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 50 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1973, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The drawn water covers 18 acres wrapped in 1 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.7) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 43% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. It sits in Haliburton County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Nehemiah Lake, is 1 mi to the northeast.
Early season splake use the shallows, holding in 5 to 25 ft. Expect a summer slide to 15 to 50 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 45 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 19 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) and you're in the game.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (10 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (19 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
