9-acre lake in Grey County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 8 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
On the chart, Flesherton L. 3 draws 9 acres inside 0.6 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.4 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. You'll find it in Grey County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Flesherton Community Pond, 0 mi north of here.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 8 ft. Summer keeps them at 2 to 8 ft, and they winter in 1 to 8 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 7 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.

| Spring | 1 to 8 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

Early season rock bass use the shallows, holding in 2 to 8 ft. Even in summer they hold at 2 to 8 ft; winter keeps them in 2 to 8 ft. The chart's best answer is Main-lake point — point, 8 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is the evening. Tie on a ned rig (small) or a marabou jig and you're in the game.
