37-acre lake in Timiskaming District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 60 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 37 acres, worked by 1.4 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.6) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 41% of this chart, as modeled. Figure 0.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. Timiskaming District claims this one. Flatstone Lake sits 1 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 27 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.
