7-acre lake near Ontario. The lake tops out around 17 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Brook Trout fishing at Deep Lake
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 5 to 17 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 17 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 14 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
