59-acre lake in Haliburton County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 79 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Drawn out, this is 59 acres of water rimmed by 2.7 miles of bank, broken up by 2 islands. The 2.5 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. About 29% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 0.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.4 mi at the beam. The water lies in Haliburton County. The nearest mapped water is Dog Lake, 1 mi to the east.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. Summer brook trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 21 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
