70-acre lake in Renfrew County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 59 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1980 (a transect sounding survey). Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The drawn water covers 71 acres wrapped in 1.8 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.6) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. About 33% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 0.5 mi long by 0.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Renfrew County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Halfway Lake, is 3 mi to the northeast.
Early season lake trout use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Expect a summer slide to 18 to 59 ft, then a winter hold in 15 to 59 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 59 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger and you're in the game.

| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |

Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 15 to 45 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 18 to 59 ft, wintering in 18 to 59 ft.

A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.

A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm covers the summer program.
