10-acre lake in Parry Sound District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 39 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Traced from the shoreline, Finger Lake runs 10 acres with 0.6 miles of edge. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. 40% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. The water lies in Parry Sound District. The nearest mapped water is Odiekirk L., 1 mi to the southeast.
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 Shoreline break, a prime-rated drop-off around 18 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |

| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
