97-acre lake in Leeds and Grenville United Counties, Ontario. The lake tops out around 90 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The drawn water covers 96 acres wrapped in 3.4 miles of bank — one island included. With a shoreline index of 2.5, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. Roughly 15% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 0.9 mi end to end and 0.5 mi across at its widest. Leeds and Grenville United Counties claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Bass Lake, is 1 mi to the west.
Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 30 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — feeding flat, 6 ft, good for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |

The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
