49-acre lake in Cochrane District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 13 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1988 (a transect sounding survey). Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
On the chart, Fleck Lake 5 draws 50 acres inside 1.5 miles of shoreline. Index 1.6 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. End to end it runs roughly 0.7 mi, about 0.2 mi across. The water lies in Cochrane District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Raft Lake, 7 mi south of here.
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 2 to 8 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 4 to 13 ft, and winter fish settle into 4 to 13 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 4 ft, rated prime for spring northern pike. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.
