62-acre lake in Timiskaming District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 40 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Bartle Lake maps at 62 acres behind 1.6 miles of shoreline. With a 1.5 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. 56% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 0.5 mi long by 0.3 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Timiskaming District. Pike Lake sits 2 mi west — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring brook trout on Bartle Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 18 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (10 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (18 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (10 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (18 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
