12-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 20 ft. The depth chart comes from Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1970, a decades-old survey (an MNRF lake survey). Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Drawn out, this is 12 acres of water rimmed by 0.7 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. You'll find it in Nipissing District. The nearest mapped water is Coppersand Lake, 1 mi to the northwest.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 6 to 20 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 16 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 6 to 20 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (16 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (16 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
