12-acre lake in Cochrane District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 48 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 12 acres, worked by 0.7 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. About 50% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. End to end it runs roughly 0.4 mi. Cochrane District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Picker Lake, is 1 mi to the north.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shoreline break: a drop-off around 22 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 | Shoreline break (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 | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Early season splake use the shallows, holding in 5 to 25 ft. Summer is a 14 to 48 ft game here, winter a 10 to 45 ft one. The chart's best answer is Shoreline break — drop-off, 22 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (22 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 14 to 48 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (22 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (22 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait |
| Winter | 10 to 45 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (22 ft) | Jigging spoon tipped with minnow head, Small white tube |
