7-acre lake in Timiskaming District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 20 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
On the chart, Flood L. draws 6 acres inside 0.8 miles of shoreline. The 2.4 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 88% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Figure 0.4 mi of water from one end to the other. The water lies in Timiskaming District. The nearest mapped water is Yarrow Lake 15, 1 mi to the southwest.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 20 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 17 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
