5-acre lake in Timiskaming District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 43 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
On the chart, Holster Lake draws 5 acres inside 0.4 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. 34% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. The water lies in Timiskaming District. For a second option, Coutts Lake lies 0 mi east.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 19 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
