11-acre lake near Dumfries and Galloway. The lake tops out around 28 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The drawn water covers 11 acres wrapped in 0.6 miles of bank. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Roughly 48% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi. Dumfries and Galloway claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Barean Loch or Loch Barean, is 0 mi to the northeast.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 3 to 25 ft. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 28 ft, wintering in 4 to 28 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 13 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for after dark and early morning. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 8 to 28 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 60 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (13 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 5 to 28 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 30 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 4 to 28 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 35 ft | dawn | Break off the point (13 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 3 to 12 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 28 ft, then a winter hold in 8 to 28 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 24 ft of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.

| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (13 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Summer | 8 to 28 ft | dawn | Deep basin (24 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |

Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 2 to 8 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 15 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 13 ft that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (13 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (13 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
