10-acre lake in Cochrane District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 34 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The drawn water covers 10 acres wrapped in 0.5 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Roughly 32% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Cochrane District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Armitage Lake, is 0 mi to the west.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 30 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 29 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
