28-acre lake in Haliburton County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 19 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Drawn out, this is 28 acres of water rimmed by 1.3 miles of bank. Index 1.8 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. 81% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Haliburton County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: South Galipo Lake, 1 mi east of here.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 6 to 19 ft before dropping to 3 to 19 ft for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 16 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| 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 | 6 to 19 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (16 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 19 ft | dawn | Deep basin (16 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Start shallow in spring: splake sit in 4 to 19 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 6 to 19 ft covers summer, 4 to 19 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 9 ft of water that rates prime for splake in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 19 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 6 to 19 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (9 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
| Fall | 5 to 19 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait |
| Winter | 4 to 19 ft | dawn | Break off the point (9 ft) | Jigging spoon tipped with minnow head, Small white tube |
