40-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 23 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 is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The outline encloses 39 acres, worked by 2.3 miles of shoreline. A development index of 2.6 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. 86% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 0.9 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. Nipissing District claims this one. If the bite dies, Little Mountain Lake is 1 mi to the north.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 7 to 23 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 20 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 23 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (20 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (20 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
