117-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 6 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Traced from the shoreline, Freeland Lake runs 118 acres with 3.9 miles of edge, with a single island in the mix. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.6) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. The basin spans about 1.4 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Sudbury District. The nearest mapped water is Cranberry Bog, 1 mi to the southwest.
Spring pumpkinseed on Freeland Lake hold shallow, usually 1 to 6 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 6 ft in summer, 2 to 6 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 ft, prime for spring. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a micro tube or a sponge spider (fly).
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 6 ft | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 ft) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny beetle-spin |
| Summer | 1 to 6 ft | dusk & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 ft) | Micro tube, Sponge spider (fly) |
| Fall | 2 to 6 ft | dusk & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 ft) | Micro jig + waxworm, Small spoon tipped |
| Winter | 2 to 6 ft | dawn | Deep basin (6 ft) | Tungsten ice jig + plastic, Tiny spoon |
