83-acre lake in Hastings County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 40 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Baldcoot Lake maps at 83 acres behind 2.4 miles of shoreline — one island included. A middling shoreline index (1.9) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 33% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.9 mi, about 0.3 mi across. Hastings County claims this one. Echo Lake sits 2 mi west — 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 22 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.
