6-acre lake in Timiskaming District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 33 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
On the chart, Gillies Limit L. 19 draws 6 acres inside 0.4 miles of shoreline. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Roughly 42% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. You'll find it in Timiskaming District. The nearest mapped water is Island Lake, 1 mi to the west.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 28 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
