13-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 26 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Hybrid Lake maps at 13 acres behind 0.6 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. 40% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 0.3 mi long. Nipissing District claims this one. Turtleshell Lake sits 1 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. Summer is an 8 to 26 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 22 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 26 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (22 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 | Shoreline break (12 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring splake on Hybrid Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 25 ft. They move out to 8 to 26 ft in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 26 ft. Put Shoreline break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 12 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep).
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (12 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |

Spring smallmouth bass on Hybrid Lake hold shallow, usually 3 to 12 ft. By summer they slide out to 8 to 26 ft, and by winter most fish are in 8 to 26 ft. The chart's best answer is Shoreline break — drop-off, 12 ft, prime for winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Ned rig, Tube jig |
| Summer | 8 to 26 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (12 ft) | Drop shot (goby/minnow), Ned rig |
| Fall | 8 to 25 ft | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (12 ft) | Jerkbait, Blade bait |
| Winter | 8 to 26 ft | midday | Shoreline break (12 ft) | Blade bait, Hair jig |
