Rating depth structure for splake.

23-acre lake in Cochrane District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 31 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, Cochenour L. draws 23 acres inside 0.9 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. 52% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 0.3 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Cochrane District. For a second option, Vinkle Lake lies 1 mi north.
In spring, splake run shallow here, mostly 5 to 25 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 9 to 31 ft, and winter fish settle into 7 to 31 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 14 ft, rated prime for summer splake. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 9 to 31 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (14 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
| Fall | 9 to 31 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait |
| Winter | 7 to 31 ft | dawn | Break off the point (14 ft) | Jigging spoon tipped with minnow head, Small white tube |
