6-acre lake in Timiskaming District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 24 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Fraser L. runs 6 acres with 0.9 miles of edge, broken up by an island. A development index of 2.7 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. 45% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 0.4 mi of water from one end to the other. You'll find it in Timiskaming District. For a second option, Mearow Lake lies 1 mi west.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 7 to 24 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 20 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 24 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (20 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |

| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (20 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
