10-acre lake in Timiskaming District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 25 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 9 acres wrapped in 0.5 miles of bank. At index 1.1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 80% of this chart. It sits in Timiskaming District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Davidson L. 1, is 0 mi to the north.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 25 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 20 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 20 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 | 8 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (20 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (20 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Early season splake use the shallows, holding in 5 to 25 ft. Even in summer they hold at 8 to 25 ft; winter keeps them in 6 to 25 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 20 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (1 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 8 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (20 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
| Fall | 7 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (1 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait |
| Winter | 6 to 25 ft | dawn | Deep basin (20 ft) | Jigging spoon tipped with minnow head, Small white tube |
