22-acre lake in Haliburton County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 26 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
On the chart, Eiler Lake draws 22 acres inside 1 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 69% of this chart, as modeled. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Haliburton County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Eighteen Mile Lake, 1 mi west of here.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 26 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 22 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
