101-acre lake in Haliburton County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 85 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1984 (a transect sounding survey). Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Drawn out, this is 101 acres of water rimmed by 3.4 miles of bank, broken up by an island. A development index of 2.4 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. 19% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 0.8 mi long by 0.6 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Haliburton County. The nearest mapped water is Bat Lake, 1 mi to the south.
In spring, lake trout run shallow here, mostly 10 to 40 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 26 to 85 ft, and winter fish settle into 20 to 80 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 85 ft, rated prime for summer lake trout. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 26 to 85 ft | dawn | Deep basin (85 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (85 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
