8-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 15 ft. The depth chart comes from Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1970, a decades-old survey (an MNRF lake survey). What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Coppersand Lake runs 8 acres with 0.5 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. You'll find it in Nipissing District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Hush Hush Lake, 1 mi southeast of here.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. The depth story barely changes: 5 to 15 ft through summer, 2 to 15 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 9 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (9 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 15 ft | dawn | Deep basin (9 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
