88-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 77 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 88 acres, worked by 2.5 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.9) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. 19% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. The basin spans about 0.8 mi end to end and 0.4 mi across at its widest. Nipissing District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Clem Lake, is 1 mi to the east.
Spring burbot on Indian Trail Lake hold shallow, usually 25 to 70 ft. They move out to 23 to 77 ft in summer and finish the year down in 15 to 60 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 65 ft that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run after dark and midday. The summer box starts with a heavy jig + cut bait.
